2010 Asia-Pacific Global Health Summer Institute
An inaugural Asia-Pacific Global Health Summer Institute (SI) will be held June 20 to July 2, 2010, in Honolulu, HI, to provide instruction and an exciting new forum focused on critical global health issues of the Asia-Pacific Region. With the theme of New Perspectives in Global Health: Integrating Ecological, Social, and Biological Sciences, the SI aims to combine expertise and resources for fostering integrative systems-level approaches to global health research and practice. Co-sponsored by the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) Office of Public Health Studies, and the University of California at Berkeley School of Public Health, the SI will especially focus on four pressing global health challenges of the Asia-Pacific Region: indigenous health disparities, linkages between healthy ecosystems and public health, the socio-ecology of emerging infectious diseases, and public health leadership. Four one-week graduate-level courses will be team-taught at the UHM campus, by outstanding faculty from UHM, UC Berkeley, Mae Fah Luong University, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The UHM campus, on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu, provides an ideal setting for instruction as Hawaii represents a microcosm of the Asia-Pacific Region, with its mix of Polynesian, Asian, and Western cultures, along with its fragile ecosystems that are increasingly threatened by global changes.
