Deadline for Upper School Students to Apply for the Johns Hopkins University Global Health Leaders Conference Summer Program


Students interested in global health and medicine are invited to apply to the 2024 virtual summer program. This will be Johns Hopkins University student and faculty-led program and is open to students in Grades 9-12.

Students from around the world will learn about issues in global health, public health, and medicine through world-class lectures from leaders in these fields, and will have an opportunity to develop connections with like-minded exceptional students, and share their own work and ideas on global health-related topics at the international scale.

Past featured speakers have included leading global health researchers, renowned professors, physicians, policy developers, and Nobel Prize winners. The purpose of the program is to reach passionate students of all backgrounds from around the world and develop the next generation of leaders in global health, public health, and medicine.

Conference programming will be held throughout the summer of 2024 and will consist of a series of multiple virtual events on multiple days throughout June-August 2024. If an admitted student cannot attend parts of the programming synchronously, asynchronous options will be available for students to watch the content they miss.

The conference registration fee for admitted students is $99. If the fee places a significant financial burden on a student’s family, financial assistance is available. The conference application is available here and will be accepted until TODAY. Admission into this program is competitive, so students are encouraged to apply early.
