   The Global Forum for Environment and Health is a distinguished lecture series designed to initiate     discussions on the topic of worldwide health. The Global Forum is designed specifically for leaders in health     care, health professionals, those preparing for careers in health, scientists in environmental health, and policy     makers.

    The Global Forum for Health and the Environment is linking with other organizations; for example, 100     World Bank GDLN sites throughout the world can receive and participate in the Global Forum. Lectures are     also made available for satellite broadcast and streaming internet video.

    Potential partnerships include the World Bank Global Distance Learning Network, Medical Missions for     Children, and others who bring strategic contributions to establish lecture programs.

In addition, selected medical schools     are involved in a Global Seminar for Health and the Environment which utilizes the distinguished lectures in     the Global Forum to create an innovative approach to global medical education.
