The American Mock World Health Organization (AMWHO) has recently initiated a new chapter at the University of Washington, Seattle.
AMWHO welcomes all collegiate and high school students in the state of Washington to join them for our first annual AMWHO UW State Conference. This conference will be held on the University of Washington campus May 20-21st, 2017.
The goal of this regional conference is to create a platform for bright, enthusiastic minds to come together to engage in meaningful discussion and debate about healthcare policy as well as have an opportunity create profound policy change.
This conference serves to be an enriching experience wherein you will both understand the challenges of creating substantial global health policy change as well as augment your pre-existing passion for striving to optimize the health conditions of millions around the globe.
The theme for this AMWHO Regional Conference Washington 2017 is “Tackling Mental Health: Competency, Access, and Education,” a topic largely unexplored but one that has deep roots in science and healthcare policy. Mental health is a global problem that is often pushed under the rug as a “non-essential” topic. But this conference provides an opportunity to delve into this topic and create viable healthcare policy that can shape global perceptions and redefine cultural stigmas.
