Global health groups are medical student-led organisations who work to create grassroots awareness and activism in the interests of global health, welfare and equity on local, national and international levels.

GHN Vector – Call for submissions

Are you interested in Global Health? Do you have an unfulfilled childhood dream to be a “published author”? Now is your chance to both live that dream AND inform your peers.
Vector, the AMSA Global Health Network’s biannual publication, NEEDS YOUR SUBMISSIONS!
The free student run magazine features global health news, letters, opinion articles and elective stories, and is always a brilliant read! The next issue will focus on the Millennium Development Goals, and the team at Vector would love your ideas and contributions.
In particular, the team at Vector are calling for submissions from medical and allied health students about their experiences of their electives or overseas volunteer placements.
All students are welcome to submit letters to the editorial section raising concerns about any current issues they feel are pertinent to global health, their own and others’ medical education in the area, or any other aspect they feel deserves some time in the spotlight.
All submissions are to be sent to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and must be received by Sunday 3rd October 2010 to be considered for publication.
Students’ submissions must be:
A maximum of one page, including photos (encouraged!) and any references (if required)
Referenced to comply with the standard Vancouver style (if referenced)
MUST be the student’s original work (collaborative pieces are very welcome, provided all authors are credited)
