REQUEST FOR NOMINATIONS FOR STUDENT FEATURE ARTICLE

Global Pulse, the American Medical Student Association's worldwide student-run international health journal, believes student efforts in global health deserve recognition and discussion for their potential impact on society. Thus, we would like to introduce our new feature on student leadership. This new feature will highlight the service of an individual or a small group of students who are making a significant contribution to the progress and development of international health. We would like to give you the opportunity to nominate a student (or a group of a few student leaders of an organization) in the field of global health that will be featured in the upcoming issue for their efforts.

All leadership activities focused on global health are eligible - working in an organization that deals with international health issues, traveling to do clinical outreach abroad, researching about health outcomes abroad, educating others about international health conditions, or raising funds for those affected by poor health abroad. Whatever the activity, Global Pulse wants to recognize significant, health-based contributions in response to global health issues.

The selection committee will consist of editors of Global Pulse. Each nominee will be judged on predetermined criteria including, but not limited to: extent and impact of contribution to the local and international community, relevance of service to journal theme, uniqueness of contribution and the degree of initiative demonstrated by the nominated individuals.

Please send your nominations to submissions@globalpulsejournal.com.

Nominations should be submitted in the following format:

• Put the name of the individual you are nominating in the email message subject line. (Self nominations are welcome).
• Please include in the body of your message an explanation (about 200-500 words) of the work the individual(s) has done and how it relates to global health.
• Please state in the body of your message where to find additional information regarding the organization and work of the individual(s) you are nominating.
• Relevant supplemental materials are welcome.
• Selected finalist will be invited to present additional information via interview.

Self-nominations are welcome. Eligible nominees include students who are an active part of the health community, including but not limited to those in medical, nursing, pharmacy and other allied health profession schools. All questions about nominations should be directed to jbracero@globalpulsejournal.com
