On behalf of all of us at Strategy Implemented, Inc., we are excited to announce two sessions that SI have helped organized at the 2014 AAMC Annual Meeting. The sessions are part of the Global Health Learning Opportunities (GHLO®) collaborative session series under the direction of our AAMC colleague Dr. Jenny Samaan. The 60 minute sessions – Collaborative Approaches to Preparing Global Physicians and Implementing Technology to Advance Medical Knowledge Across Borders described below discuss innovative models and technologies that impact the globalization of medical education and will be moderated by SI’s Bob Crone and Amanda Pullen respectively.
Collaborative Approaches to Preparing Global Physicians
November 10, 2014 | 9:30 AM-10:30 AM
Hyatt Regency Hotel Chicago | Room: Crystal C
This session will highlight three different medical school models that prepare global physicians: 1) The West Virginia University Global Health Program; 2) A creative partnership between an Australian medical school, Queensland University, and a US hospital system – Ochsner Health System jointly deliver an Australian medical degree for US citizens and permanent residents; 3) A partnership between Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Israel and Columbia University that jointly manage the Medical School for International Health that emphasizes cross cultural and global medicine and sends almost all of their students to developing countries in their final year.
After a representative from each program describes the characteristics of their respective program, the moderator and the panelists will conclude with a discussion to address various challenges, lessons, trends and recommendations for preparing global physicians.
At the completion of this session, learners will be able to:
-
Understand three very different medical education models and ways of engaging partners.
-
Understand what goal each is addressing and how it is contributing to developing global physicians.
-
Describe the motivations of students to engage in these programs.
Moderator: Robert Crone, President & CEO of Strategy Implemented, Inc.
Panelist:
-
Richard Deichmann, Deputy Head of Clinical School, Students and Associate Professor at Ochsner Clinical School
-
Christopher Martin, Professor and Director at West Virginia University

Implementing Technology to Advance Medical Knowledge Across Borders
November 10, 2014 | 11:00 AM-12:00 PM
Hyatt Regency Hotel Chicago | Room: Crystal C
This session will provide attendees with an opportunity to hear about and engage with 4 different innovations that utilize technology for collaborative learning and information sharing. Colleagues in Care’s work utilized IBM’s Cloud technology to share medical information and volunteer wisdom in Haiti. Current work on grassroots hypertension training is challenging them to identity new modalities for transmitting content and employing technology for collaborative learning. Medical students Shiv Gaglani, and co-founder Ryan Haynes, have created Osmosis, an innovative, web-based platform that combines lectures, classroom-created content, study guides and push notifications with practical and clinical cases in advance of exams. This new tool is engaging medical students with the potential to greatly expand medical knowledge and incorporate global contributions. The third program is Stanford University’s Center for Global Health and Johns Hopkins University’s Berman Institute of Bioethics, Doris Duke Foundation-funded on-line course entitled Ethical Challenges in Short-Term Global Health Training. Finally, the University of Minnesota has developed GAPS (Global Ambassadors for Patient Safety)- an online course, with a series of modules, that prepares health professions students for international global health placements, focusing on patient safety, ethical considerations, and essential cross cultural skills.
At the completion of this session, learners will be able to:
-
Understand ways in which technology is being used for information dissemination and community building from the four programs highlighted.
-
Discover how their medical students can benefit from the tools created.
-
Share ways in which their medical school is creating/utilizing technology innovatively.
Moderator: Amanda Pullen, Senior Vice President at Strategy Implemented, Inc.
Panelist:
-
Shiv Gaglani, Co-Founder of Osmosis
-
John Kenerson, Co-Founder of Colleagues in Care
-
Matt DeCamp, Assistant Professor at Johns Hopkins University: Ethical Challenges in Short-Term Global Health Training
-
Tricia Todd, Assistant Director at University of Minnesota: Global Ambassadors for Patient Safety
In addition, our colleagues at GHLO® will be hosting other sessions at this year’s annual meeting including:
Global Collaborations: The Jigsaw Puzzle
November 8, 2014 | 10:30 AM-11:30 AM
Hyatt Regency Hotel Chicago – Regency D
This panel discussion will provide an opportunity for attendees to explore three different non-profit organizations’ approaches to partnerships that promote global health and medical education and training across the continuum. Collaborative engagement between Global Health Learning Opportunities (GHLO), Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH) and Global Health Education, Training and Service (GHETS), supports each program’s primary focus on students, faculty members and health care practitioners, respectively, while simultaneously creating new opportunities for expanding networks and capacity strengthening. Time will be allotted for attendees to discuss with each other, and with presenters challenges they face when developing or maintaining international collaborations.
At the completion of this session, learners will be able to:
-
Distinguish the goals and structures of the three organizations engaged in global health while understanding their complimentary roles.
-
Reflect upon their dialog with others regarding challenges to meaningful international engagement.
-
Identify possible ways of engaging with, or contributing to, the expansion of these programs.
Panelist:
-
Keith Martin, Executive Director at Consortium of Universities for Global Health
-
Janette “Jenny” Samaan, GHLO Founder, Sr. Director at the Association of American Medical Colleges
-
David Egilman, President of Global Health through Education, Training and Service (GHETS)
