Re: Political Leadership Institute
National AMSA is sponsoring another Political Leadership Institute, this
time focusing on Global Health. Unlike most AMSA-sponsored events, the
application process is competitive, being open to only 12 students
nationwide. The U of M has been successful in sending representation, and
often more than one student has been interested in applying. In the past,
the process toward applying has been unclear, so we have decided to
implement the following process: students interested in applying should
notify us by Monday (application due Nov. 20). After we have identified all
interested students, we will work with Dean Vercellotti to decide which
student our school should nominate, which may require you to send us more
information. Since the application process is competitive nationally, we
will try to nominate the student that would best represent our medical
school. The attendee will be expected to share the knowledge they have
gained with our chapter and the rest of the school. If you have any
questions, please feel free to contact us.
With this in mind, please review the following message if you are interested
in global health issues. If you are interested in applying to this PLI,
please reply back to Josh Rhein ([log in to unmask]) or Cuong Pham
([log in to unmask]).
Thanks and Keep up the good work!

AMSA Global Health Action Commitee Invites You To:
APPLY FOR THE GLOBAL HEALTH POLITICAL LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE FEB 4-7
http://www.amsa.org/global/pli.cfm
American medical students interested in global health activism face specific
challenges in their efforts to advocate for change overseas. First, few
models for affecting change regarding complex international problems, such
as HIV/AIDS, exist. Second, opportunities for education or mentorship for
those concerned with global health problems are scant in the medical school
curricula. In order to remedy this gap in medical education, and to enhance
the ability of students to advocate for international change, the American
Medical Students Association (AMSA) established the Global Health Political
Leadership Institute.
This three-day Global Health Political Leadership Institute aims to develop
a cadre of medical student leaders in global health, both at the national
level and in their respective regions. In this three-day seminar, students
will: 1) develop and strengthen advocacy skills, 2) educate themselves on
fast-changing issues in a global context, and 3) connect with a community of
activists from across the country.
Twelve students will be chosen on the basis of demonstrated leadership and
commitment to international health issues. Each medical school or
university can nominate one student for this year's program. To
participate, please speak to your dean of students or equivalent. We ask
that the school provide the cost of transportation for each student, to
demonstrate their commitment to and support of physician leadership.
Selected students will arrive the night of Thursday, February 4th and will
leave the afternoon of Sunday, Feburary 7th.
The application is attached. Applications must be received by November 20,
2003. No applications will be accepted after this date. Applications may be
submitted by email, mailed, or faxed to:
Erica Schockett, Director of Student Programming
Women's Empowerment Institute
American Medical Student Association
1902 Association Drive
Reston, VA 20191
