Travelling far afield for your elective? If so, we want to hear all about it. Write up your experiences into a Global Health case report and not only could you be the lucky winner of a £500 travel bursary, your article could also be included in the 2016 special edition print journal.
We’ve put together a quick guide to tell you everything you need to 
know.
What is a Global Health case report?
Global Health case reports should focus on:
- the causes of disease
- the social determinants of health
- access to healthcare services
- how Global Health issues affect individual lives
Global Health case reports require a comprehensive review of the relevant literature. This includes related publications published by governments and global organisations, not simply the medical literature. For more information, see our website.
What could I win?
- A £500 travel bursary to help you attend a medical conference or event related to Global Health.
- Your article will be published in our 2016 special edition print journal along with three runners-up.
