Enjoy your lunch hour with us!

The Global Perspectives Film Series is one of our many continuing educational activities. Our goal is to provide the TTUHSC and local community with information about global, national, and local health and social issues to better understand what factors influence our health and wellbeing.

Through the film series, attendees will expand their knowledge and gain awareness about various lived experiences across the world. Global Perspective Film Series aims to educate participants by making connections between the social determinants of health and health outcomes impacting specific populations globally. By broadening our perspectives, we increase our ability to be more collaborative healthcare professionals and community members.

This event is free and open to the public. No RSVP is necessary, though we do encourage you to register to receive a reminder and calendar invite.
