Tomorrow, Monday 2/15 at 6pm in 1361 Chemistry, the UW-Madison Pre-medical American Medical Student Association (AMSA) will be hosting an International Medical Panel with three doctors and professors who have had experiences with global health care, open to all students. It will be a great opportunity to ask questions and learn from those who have had firsthand experience.
Speakers:
Dr. Claire Wendland
"As a medical anthropologist, I focus on the globalization of biomedicine, particularly in Africa. Related work includes the anthropology of reproduction, sexuality and the body. I am finishing work on a book that explores the experience of medical students who must learn to be doctors in Malawi."
Dr. Robert Dempsey
Focus on specialized neurological/neurosurgical care disparities between Ecuador/eastern Africa and the United States. Distribution of care - work at regional centers. Disparities in equipment - REUSE gloves for surgery in Ecuador. Emphasis on teaching to work against lack of neurosurgeons.
Dr. Sana Salih
After completing medical school in Khartoum, Sudan, Dr. Salih has worked in the United Kingdom and Texas. She is currently an Obstetrician and Gynecologist performing research at the UW Hospital, working with patients, and teaching at the medical school.
