When: Wednesday, March 23 7:00-9:00 PM
Where: Marian College, Allison Mansion
Sponsored by Franciscan Center for Global Studies Speaker Series
Many of you know about the collaboration between the Indiana University School of Medicine and Moi University Faculty of Health Sciences. Fran Quigley’s excellent article in NUVO in 2003 brought this program to light. Begun in Eldoret Kenya in 1990 as an exchange of faculty and students, today it is a pioneer leader in HIV/AIDS care, prevention, and research for all of sub-Saharan Africa. You really should visit the program’s website. In fact, this program has inspired me to think in a new way about local-to-local solutions for global problems. Hear about the program from Bob Einterz, Dean for International Affairs and Professor of Clinical Medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine. He has directed the partnership between Indiana University and Moi University Faculty of Health Sciences, Kenya since its inception in 1990. Over the last several years, he has overseen the development and expansion of one of the largest HIV treatment and prevention programs in sub-Saharan Africa. Dr. Einterz also practices internal medicine and directs the Westside Community Health Center in Indianapolis. Dr. Einterz obtained his BA in chemistry from Wabash College and his MD from Indiana University.
This is open to the public, and you ought to go.
