CFHI is reminiscing on the recent CUGH Conference and here are a few of our team's highlights… - Seeing Dr. Kirk Scirto's "Doing Global Health Work," a book published by Hesperian Health Guides that includes an afterword written by Robin Young, CFHI’s Executive Director, and Jessica Evert, CFHI’s Global Medical Director. - Connecting with team members from Ghana, the Philippines, Costa Rica, and the United States in person at the conference instead of our usual remote interactions from all around the world. - Catching up with CFHI program alumni and learning about their latest endeavors brought immense joy and inspiration. - Meeting Rohini Kousalya Siva, the National President of CFHI partner American Medical Student Association (AMSA)! - Dr. Evert's co-facilitated session on "Reflection in Global Health: Building a Community of Practice" provided a valuable opportunity to delve into discussions on the recently published 'Reflection in Global Health': An Anthology, Volume 2. - Dr. Charles Chineme Nwobu MD, MPH, MSc, FRSPH Chineme Nwobu, CFHI Medical Director in Ghana's, co-presentation on "Reclaiming Ancestral Wisdom: Blending Indigenous Science and Knowledge to Improve Health,".
