AMWHO AMWHO Temple

Welcome to Temple University's Model World Health Association chapter website! We are dedicated to promote public health goals in the city of Philadelphia and across the nation! We are passionate about health disparities and combatting public health crises in the hopes of achieving the goals as set out by Healthy People 2020, which strives for physical as well as mental health for disproportionately at risk communities. We will be having several GBMs and events throughout the semester, which you can find out about on our website!

The First Model World Health Association was founded by UNC Chapel Hill in 2014, and the chapters in colleges in the United States has grown since! The organization envisions a group of young, determined leaders with the diplomatic and public speaking skills to make an impact in the field of public health, mainly by participating in mock activities and conferences. Every spring, several public health chapters in the country join together for a Mock World Health Conference to simulate the annual global health policy making forum in which students act as delegates representing regional blocks in the world, are assigned a position, and must portray that role accurately throughout the three day conference. The research conducted during the first two days is in preparation for a debate on the region's stance. It is a perfect opportunity to meet like-minded individuals and make meaningful connections, and we will be attending the conference in Atlanta, GA on April 5-7 2019. We will be posting more information soon!
