Year-five Bachelor’s Degree in Medicine students organise the photo exhibition “Photovoice”

The Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at UIC Barcelona is at present hosting a photo exhibition entitled “Photovoice”. Created by fifth-year students from the Bachelor’s Degree in Medicine, the images on display offer insight into the results of the projects on Epidemiology and Public Health, a subject taught by lecturer Felipe Macías.

With this research technique, the 16 participating groups analysed different environments and their effect on people’s heath. These included UIC Barcelona’s Sant Cugat Campus, several shopping centres and a number of schools. Thanks to the images, the initiative has allowed students to present topics in a creative, personal manner and encourages reflection on certain aspects of everyday life, such as the importance of recycling, eating habits, self-medication and the root causes of gender violence.
