For second part of reading response, I choose to report on Promoting public understanding of public health article by our professor Stephen Bezruchka. I really enjoyed reading the article he wrote about how people in the America are being less healthy than those people in other rich nations. Promoting public awareness about this topic should be high priority for all Public Health majors. Health is the most important part of human life and it surprising to me that people in America are not really doing anything to change it. Solving this problem need individual supports and public supports.

I concentrated my Master’s studies in international health, and, to understand and experience health from an international perspective, felt it was important to live and be educated overseas. Studying in Australia, I was exposed to, not only cultural differences, but systematic, political, and infrastructure differences, and I began to understand how what one has access to influences their life.

However it was not until my mission in Guatemala that I got a sense of the impact I could potentially make globally as a dentist. While there, I shadowed my father where he performed dental procedures on roughly 200 people. Although I was only able to provide supporting efforts for my father, I gained experience that was invaluable. I carried a portable backpack chair into the villages. The chair was both solar and electric with basic built in tools. Once the patients were seated, I provided emotional encouragement through smiles, hugs, and interpreted language. I was rewarded in that every patient that we treated showed his or her utmost gratitude. Working and observing alongside my father, we were a team, doing something that was life changing for countless individuals. A fire was ignited inside of me that will never be extinguished. A fire that is fueled by passion for helping people close to home as well as those in remote countries where very few are willing to

After college, I became a medical anthropologist to help create structural change that would one day improve the system that contributes to the social inequalities that cause to poor health. My plan didn’t work. While my

On August 12th, Dr Bartoletti, a dentist from Sheridan, Montana, led Ryan Edens and several other students on a trip to one of the largest refugee camps in Uganda to deliver important dental care to refugees. Dr. Bartoletti leads a program called Montana Dental Outreach that is paired with the Carroll group called Carroll Outreach Team. The team

In addition to the service-run clinic, The University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix offers the Global Health Program that will allow me to individualize my medical training and pursue a of medicine I am particularly interested. It is essential to understand that in increasingly globalized society, global health is a public health concern for all. With the knowledge such program will give me, I hope to one day as a physician make a meaningful impact in my ancestral homeland where third world diseases are rampant.

I have always been aware of global issues and needing to understand what is happening in the world has always been important to me. However, I never understood global concerns through a health paradigm. Many of the concepts presented in this course were not new to me, as I have been an active participant in global issues and organizations, such as Spread the Net Campaign to end malaria, as well as many different human rights causes. However, the new insight I gained was in regards to

The first year of my program would allow me to expand my knowledge on global health issues and the use of policy to influence those issues. I am particularly interested in health disparities and learning about how and why certain diseases and outbreaks disproportionately affect specific populations of people. By learning more about epidemiology I can learn the skills necessary to development preventative measures or medical training specific to those populations. In my second year, I believe that I will gain the skills necessary to run a hospital or healthcare system or organization. The modules associated with the module will allow me to enhance critical thinking abilities necessary when solving complex problems in the context of healthcare. I anticipate that these two independently comprehensive programs, together will provide me the tools necessary to accomplish my career goals. My hope is that the Global Health and International Health Management programs will combine epidemiology research, population disparities, health policy and healthcare systems management outside of the scope of U.S. healthcare. It is my vision that the tools I learn here will equip me to influence United States healthcare reform and establish global healthcare

This reflective essay is about a 2013 survey of Americans on the United States roles in global health. The survey article focuses on properties for U.S. in world affairs, priorities in global health, views of U.S. spending on foreign aid and effort to improve health in developing counties, caveats to support the current level of U.S. spending on global health, and the visibility of global health issues and sources of information. (Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, 2013) I feel like this survey is important to analyze because it shows to what degree the U.S. actually aides the other countries and the views of the American citizens.

I am disturbed that not all lives are valued equally. I cannot accept the fact that children die from preventable diseases, simply because they are born in countries with less wealth and stability. In America, we are curing cancer with a mutated poliovirus strain, but we haven’t eradicated polio in Afghanistan and Pakistan. We come together in crises, highly publicized earthquakes and tsunamis, but we haven’t come together to solve the problem of basic human health, a right for every person on earth. Ensuring our health is complicated and daunting and requires the mass coordination of agencies and governments to build sustainable infrastructures with local citizens in charge. I want to be part of the solution and am engaging in public health in every way I can: in the field, in the classroom, and through global health

Before my time abroad, I found that it was very easy to become caught up in the trivial aspects of life and forget to be grateful for the opportunities readily available to me. Suffering, poverty, and oppression are common in parts of the world and while I may never fully understand what people who face these challenges go through on a daily basis, I feel that it is important to utilize my education and experience to help alleviate these stresses on the global community. I wholeheartedly believe that continuing my education and working with the professionals at an institution abroad will provide me with the knowledge and experience to obtain a meaningful position in the Health Economics and Policy arena.

I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Global Health at Northwestern University. My specific interest in global health the CFHI program I plan to follow? is related to non-communicable diseases, more specifically diabetes. My interest in non-communicable diseases (NCDs) comes from experience with family members and people around me. For example, in Mexico, from where I am from, 77% of total deaths are estimated from NCDs. I have volunteered at a student-run free clinic in San Diego for the past two years as a lead Spanish-English interpreter, where I have been able to meet many patients with diabetes and hypertension and have learned how hard it is to have these NCDs controlled when people are food insecure and the access to proper medical

In May of my sophomore year, I was invited to attend the 2016 Women Deliver Health Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark. I had received a full scholarship intended to benefit young African-American students displaying academic excellence and a true passion for global health. I took my ticket, my seat, my scholarship, and I didn’t look back. I networked, collaborated, and learned from everyone around me. I attended talks by Melinda Gates and the PM of Denmark. I was eager to bring what I had learned back to the U.S, and my community.

The seminar had an emphasis on Health, which had multiple professionals whom gave us their insight in their concentrations of work. The presentation benefited everyone in the audience, in which they gave us some of their personal advice to succeed as students and in our own personal lives. The panel consisted of Dr. Patricia Carter, Dr. Jaime Davis, Dr. Reginald Baptiste. All three of these doctors brought up the University of Texas slogan, “What starts here changes the world.” They added to it, by saying changing the world cannot happen if you are not healthy, then linking both “changing the world by being healthy.”

The practice of public health most aligns with my passion for science, culture, and the community. The aspects of public health that I am most drawn to is the opportunity to work with diverse and underserved patient populations, and the emphasis that is placed on disease prevention and healthy lifestyle promotion. My academic and extracurricular experiences during my college career contributed to my interest and preparation for a career as a physician in the public health practice. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Nutritional Science with a minor in Anthropology. I took a variety of classes that expanded my perspective of the role of nutrition in disease prevention and treatment. Through my studies in anthropology, I learned about the complex
