2014 Trainee Essay Contest

Deadline: 6 Januari 2014

Over the years, students, trainees and faculty have reflected in creative ways on their travel, learning and work experiences.  Through writing, sharing, listening, and storytelling we can begin to derive clarity about the injustice we witness, embrace the complexities of the lives we touch, decipher the ambiguity of moral judgment in widely divergent cultural contexts, and imagine constructive action in response to our experiences. All current undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate trainees are invited to submit reflective essays in response to global health experiences.  These may be in a research, educational, clinical, or service capacity.  Please highlight the impact of your experience on professional development, personal growth or new insights you have gained into cross-cultural or ethical issues.

This contest is co-sponsored by Consortium for Universities in Global Health (www.cugh.org), Child Family Health International (www.cfhi.org), and the University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Global Health (http://www.globalhealth.pitt.edu/).

DEADLINE: All essays must be submitted via email by Monday, January 6, 2014 at 11pm EST.

PRIZES: Monetary prizes of $500 and a waiver of the 2014 CUGH conference registration fee will be awarded to the top undergraduate and graduate/post-graduate submissions.  A number of honorable mention essays will be selected for a special reading and recognition session at the conference.  A sub-set of essays will be selected for publication in the “Reflection and Global Health Education: An Anthology, 2ndEd.,” by submitting your essay you agree to inclusion in publication if selected.
