Can YOU do, the MonWHO?

The Montreal World Health Organization Simulation (MonWHO) is a 3-day conference hosted in Montreal that brings together students from a wide range of disciplines to discuss global health issues. The goal is to acquaint students with the role of the WHO while providing them an opportunity to play a proactive role in global health policy.

Participants assume the role of a country’s ambassador to the W.H.O., a non-governmental organization representative, a pharmaceutical representative or a journalist, and work with their peers to develop resolution papers that address the different global health theme chosen every year. In the past, these resolutions have not only been brought to the attention of the WHO but have been adopted by global-health minded student organizations. MonWHO’s founder recognized the importance of developing inter-professional relationships in order to develop a deeper understanding of health and more sustainable solutions to its problems. We are very proud to welcome students from all educational backgrounds to our conference.

This year's theme is Refugee Health. The conference will take place over the weekend of March 23-25, 2012, and will be hosted at New Residence Hotel in downtown Montreal. Delegate registration will open on January 1st, 2012.
