Global Health Lecture Series
Global health is a fascinating field and the Einstein Global Health Center offers our medical students fellowships through which they can experience a variety of opportunities that enhance their medical education and can sometimes shape their careers. Our virtual Global Health Lecture Series is designed to offer an introduction to the complex field of “global health,” using a multidisciplinary and multimedia approach through which participants gain an orientation to key issues and forces that shape the health experience of the majority of the world’s population.
Global Burden of Disease
The Global Health Center presented its second annual virtual Global Health Lecture Series in April 2022, featuring members of our Global Health and Clinical Skills (GHACS) faculty at Montefiore and other esteemed speakers. Themes emphasized included how the burden of disease experienced in the developing world differs from that in the West; the burden of poverty and how it manifests in the epidemiology of disease and the lack of adequate health infrastructure; how population and gender issues influence use of and access to healthcare; and how the legacy of colonialism shaped the global health landscape and how complex issues of power, representation, and resources remain as important ethical issues in current global health practice.
The series seminars are a must for anyone interested in global health.
