HealthSpeaks

HealthSpeak is a club dedicated to fostering critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and public speaking profiency in students while exploring a wide range of public health-related topics. Our primary focus is on debate and problem solving, where we engage in in-club discussions, invite guest speakers who are health experts, and provide opportunities for public speaking development. Our aim is to educate, inspire, and empower students to think critically and articulate their ideas effectively on subjects encompassing various aspects of public health–including mental health, public health misinformation, healthcare crisis preparation, and more. Through debate planning, members are encouraged to undertake their independent research projects or collaborate on research related to topics of their choosing to prepare for discussions/debates. Debates can be structured around real life cases–either ongoing public health issues or any other health-allied issue.
