What is the Mini-University?
The Mini-University is a day-long forum offering over 60 different sessions highlighting evidence-based best practices and state-of-the-art information from a variety of technical areas across the Global Health field. The forum is divided into four hour-long blocks, each offering 14 concurrent presentations. In addition, exciting brown bag sessions are offered during the lunch break. The day culminates with a Knowledge Extravaganza session and the N’Lightening Round, a lively competition during which take-home messages from the sessions are presented and prizes are awarded for the top three.
