San Francisco November 22, 2011 “Global Health Ethics is once again in the forefront of discussion with the recently published Oxford Handbook of Neuroethics chapter emphasizing the relevance of biomedical, clinical and public health ethics within the global medical and academic community.  Child Family Health International's (CFHI) Evaleen Jones M.D., Jessica Evert M.D., Scott Loeliger M.D., and Steve Schmidbauer co-authored the chapter on the importance of establishing and sustaining an ethical framework for educational global health programs. 

With growing interest in global health experiences among the medical and academic community, there are genuine concerns regarding equity, justice, and sustainability within underserved communities.  CFHI's chapter discusses global citizenship via a socially responsible framework to create positive global health educational experiences for students and host communities, connecting students with local health professionals and through direct investments in local community based projects.
