AMTI Global Health and Human Rights Webinar Series
As part of our ongoing efforts to expand open-access education on topics relevant to displacement and humanitarian protection, the Asylum Medicine Training Initiative hosts a monthly webinar series with experts across various disciplines (medicine, healthcare, law, policy, environment, etc.). These webinars are free to the public and are intended to encourage dialogue.
They are jointly organized and co-sponsored by the Cambridge Health Alliance Asylum Program (CHAAP), UCSF Health & Human Rights Initiative, Johns Hopkins/HEAL Refugee Health & Asylum Collaborative, and the Asylum Medicine Training Initiative.
We are on a summer break and will be back in Fall 2025. New sessions will be posted to this page as they are confirmed!
