Grand Rounds at UCSF- Dr. Evert discussed the variety of ways individuals can ‘practice’ global health, many of which lay down the stethoscope and clinical service in preference of advocacy and community-based capacity building.
Child Family Health International (CFHI) along with the greater study abroad community gathered the last week in May in Houston at the annual NAFSA: Association of International Educators conference. Paul Arntson led off a session entitled “Designing Transformative International Education Programs: What’s Working.” Discussed was having students participate in an asset-based model to examine a community’s strengths rather than weaknesses, which aligns with CFHI’s approach.
Students and faculty are recognizing the need for well thought out global health programming and international engagement. Yet there is still far to go!
