“There could be no justice without fair opportunities for all. Justice<br />
demands the protection of those fair opportunities.”<br />
-John Rawls<br />
Something that has amazed me is that when I interview medical students, faculty, and residents, I<br />
ask them “why do you go to another country for a GH elective?”, they say they are going to help.<br />
My reply is, “you are going to go to help yourself.” The concept of ‘help’ in this respect is wrong.<br />
We need to substitute sympathy with justice. How can we teach our participants to see the roots<br />
of injustice in the GH setting? To identify those who have played a major role in bringing inequity<br />
and injustice to communities? How can we return justice to those communities? How can we teach<br />
people to be the voice of justice? How can we diffuse that philosophy among ourselves and our<br />
students? Many of our students are passionate and have come to medical school with empathy.<br />
They are brilliant and willing to be by the side of marginalized people in returning justice where it<br />
has been taken. Human rights activism should be the core of medical education.<br />
Our students today have the potential to be a strong voice of the under-voiced by appropriate<br />
inspiration and education. How can we teach our students and faculty to replace the concept of<br />
“helping” with “bringing back justice”? How to teach students from HIC when they come to LMIC<br />
that they are there not to help but to participate; to learn, not to teach?<br />
