University of Memphis SPH Dean Joshi Invited as Guest Speaker at Instituto de Saúde Pública, Universidade do Porto

September 19, 2025 – Dr. Ashish Joshi, Dean of the School of Public Health at the University of Memphis (UofM SPH), has been invited as a guest speaker for an upcoming event hosted by Instituto de Saúde Pública, Universidade do Porto (ISPUP). The event will address “Public Health Diplomacy and the Role of Public Health Education”. It is scheduled for September 26, 2025, at 9:30 AM CDT. 

In his presentation, Dean Joshi will outline the foundations and recent progress of the UofM SPH‑sponsored high school public health clubs, a model that ISPUP is considering replicating. The University of Porto’s Institute of Public Health plans to launch a similar initiative to cultivate public health diplomats among secondary schools, inspired by the engagement and outcomes of Dean Joshi’s work with high school students in the launch pad city of Memphis and beyond.
