SGA, PHR, & MSJ are Sponsoring a Talk:
What: Global Healthcare: experiences, opportunities and challeneges for future physicians
When: Tuesday October 9th 3 P.M.
Where: Classroom 4
Who (speaker): Dr. Daniel Palazuelos who is currently associated with Harvard Medical School and Brigham & Woman’s Hospital is traveling from Boston to speak to us about his experiences working aborad as a physician for Partners In Health (PIH), a major international health organization.
Daniel Palazuelos, MD’s experience doing research in Mexico between his third and fourth years of medical school helped shape his thinking about international healthcare and inequality. Working in the Social Security hospital system in Mexico City and Ciudad Guzman, Dr. Palazuelos interviewed approximately 500 Mexican patients about their ideas on health care and the process of dying. While the study’s primary goal was to identify ways to better provide health care for Hispanic populations, Dr. Palazuelos came home with much more, particularly an understanding of the importance of strong patient-physician relationships. He believes that one of the most important goals in international medicine is to foster strong ties with international colleagues in order to provide more culturally sensitive care.
If you ever have had an interest or curiosity in working abroad as a physician in the future, come join us the DAY AFTER THE MINI.
Juice will be served.
