25th to 27th September 2015, Paris, France.

Paris-World-Health-Organization-Simulation-411x116
The Paris World Health Organization Simulation (ParisWHO) is a 3-day student-led conference hosted in beautiful Paris, France by members of the Secretariat & EHESP. As the hub of all public health networks, this annual event will be the first of its kind in Paris and will follow the configuration of a traditional World Health Organization simulation.

With the idea to gather students & young professionals from all over the world with various academic and professional disciplines, ParisWHO aims to introduce and educate students with the realistic roles of a WHO World Health Assembly meeting. This event will provide participants with an opportunity that goes beyond classroom teachings or literature based research projects in global health policy. ParisWHO simulation fills a gap in our public health education, while also serving as a call to health professionals and students from other fields to become proactive in global health policy.

A simulation of a WHO World Health Assembly meeting aims to: 

– Mimic the political, social, cultural and economic realities defining global health policy
– Target (but not limited to) future health professionals; open to students from a plethora of diverse programs
– Encourage interprofessional education
– Prepare delegates to take on the role of a country, important individual, reporter, company or NGO representative

In which they will:

– Debate, discuss, and write up a legislation (known as a “resolution”) while staying true to their role
Forward voted resolutions, collected by IFMSA and sent to the WHO headquarters for consideration
