Justice demands the protection of those fair opportunities.” -John Rawls Something that has amazed me is that when I interview medical students, faculty, and residents, I ask them “why do you go to another country for a GH elective?”, they say they are going to help. My reply is, “you are going to go to help yourself.” The concept of ‘help’ in this respect is wrong. We need to substitute sympathy with justice. How can we teach our participants to see the roots of injustice in the GH setting? To identify those who have played a major role in bringing inequity and injustice to communities? How can we return justice to those communities? How can we teach people to be the voice of justice? How can we diffuse that philosophy among ourselves and our students? Many of our students are passionate and have come to medical school with empathy. They are brilliant and willing to be by the side of marginalized people in returning justice where it has been taken. Human rights activism should be the core of medical education. Our students today have the potential to be a strong voice of the under-voiced by appropriate inspiration and education. How can we teach our students and faculty to replace the concept of “helping” with “bringing back justice”? How to teach students from HIC when they come to LMIC that they are there not to help but to participate; to learn, not to teach? Resources 2
OUR PEOPLE, OUR MISSION Global Health eMagazine June 2023 Perspective Global Health Academy Highlights Reflections Welcome Global Local Global Health Academy Written by Wendi Cuscina, BS, CPM, PACT Manager, Global Health Program Manager/Administrator, Policy Governance KYRUUS Administrator Perhaps 15-20 years ago, the idea of global health was a mere blip on the radar, a distraction in someone’s thought process. In 2012, at what was then Danbury Hospital, global health was a seed planted by Dr. Majid Sadigh. His vision, melded together with the encouragement and cultivating skills of Dr. Murphy, and Foundational support led by Grace Linhard, the Global Health Program today, is a living, fluid movement. It is not defined by one person, but rather the continuous engagement of brilliant minds and herculean efforts across the globe collaborating for one common goal – health equity for all. Nuvance Health Global Health Program is applauded and well respected for its mission, nonpartisan affiliations and organizational structure. It has become the standard industry model to emulate. High ranking universities, such as Harvard, Duke, Johns Hopkins, UPenn, Yale, Tufts, Georgetown et al, in over 42 countries now offer a global health elective to medical students. 43% have reported this course as compulsory. Global Health is no longer an afterthought. It is vital, it is dynamic and in the forefront of health education throughout the world. The Nuvance Health Global Health Program is celebrating and embracing this evolution during our upcoming Annual Global Health Conference in early June and the opening of the Majid Sadigh Global Health Academy.
