Dedicated to new student enrollments, Student Welcome Day is a special event for all new students starting their university career at the Department of Medicine & Surgery. Since 2021, we have been dedicating this event to the understanding of global health. We believe Global health provides a framework to address issues such as inequities in health, cultural competency, globalization of health care, and social and environmental determinants of health crucial to modern medical education.
The Bicocca Global Health Center organizes an annual event called the Student Welcome Day, which is eagerly anticipated by students. This carefully organized event aims to provide students with a memorable and enriching experience. Months in advance, experts, educators, and global health organizations collaborate to curate an engaging program tailored specifically for students. Throughout the event, students actively engage with the content and have the opportunity to interact with experienced speakers and panelists, gaining valuable insights and advice. The Student Welcome Day also fosters networking opportunities, allowing students to connect with peers who share similar interests, promoting a sense of community and collaboration. This event serves as a catalyst for inspiring and nurturing the next generation of global health leaders, creating a supportive environment that encourages learning, collaboration, and excellence in the field of global health.
