What is AMWHO?
The American Mock World Health Organization (AMWHO) is the only model-WHO entity in the United States of America. AMWHO aims to increase discourse on global health policy through creating authentic simulations of the World Health Assembly, the sole decision- making body of the World Health Organization. Participants assume the role of a WHO- Ambassador, Non-Governmental Organization Representative, or Media Correspondent, and form health-related positions to create a final resolution sent to the WHO in Geneva, Switzerland.
AMWHO’s primary focus is to raise student awareness of pertinent and current health issues, along with promoting an understanding of the many roles students can engage in through global health policy. AMWHO aims to nurture an interest in global health and health policy often neglected in a standard health education curriculum, where students will receive the opportunity to sharpen their diplomacy, problem solving, conflict resolution, and communication skills.
