• 00:06and I'm the Yale side

• 00:08Health Scholars Program.
• 00:10I'm really excited to have
• 00:11you all here this evening,
• 00:13and to have to welcome
• 00:15back,
• 00:16our so many of our
• 00:17returning scholars and then also
• 00:18our site directors,
• 00:20to be able to share,
• 00:22information with you about, the
• 00:24possible,
• 00:25experiences that you might be
• 00:26having next year.
• 00:28We're gonna start off with
• 00:29a few
• 00:30kind of background slides. So
• 00:32let me just share those.
• 00:33And
• 00:35alright. Laura, can you see
• 00:37the slides? They look good?
• 00:38Okay.
• 00:40So welcome to our Yale
• 00:42Global Health Scholars Program,
• 00:43presentation.
• 00:45So this is the office
• 00:47of global health leadership team.
• 00:48So it's myself,
• 00:50Sheila Shenoy is the associate
• 00:51director of the office as
• 00:53well as, associate director on
• 00:55the Yale side of the
• 00:56Global Health Scholars Program. And
• 00:58then Laura Crawford is our
• 00:59sort of chief administrator,
• 01:01on the Yale side for
• 01:02the Global Health Scholars Program.
• 01:06Now we have been this
• 01:07is technically the Yale Stanford
• 01:09Global Health Scholars Program. We
• 01:10have been,
• 01:12working well, this program has
• 01:13been around,
• 01:15for a number of years.
• 01:17Actually,
• 01:18this is the oldest,
• 01:19program in the country that
• 01:21sends residents abroad to do
• 01:23clinical rotations at, partner sites,
• 01:26around the world,
• 01:27started in nineteen eighty one.
• 01:29But the,
• 01:30this iteration of the program,
• 01:33started in two thousand one,
• 01:35when we had started to
• 01:36get funding from the Johnson
• 01:37and Johnson Foundation, which we
• 01:38had for about twenty years.
• 01:40Doctor Michelle Berry, who is
• 01:42the, sort of senior associate
• 01:44dean for global health at
• 01:45Stanford now, had been here
• 01:47at Yale and was one
• 01:48of the founders. So when
• 01:49she moved to Stanford,
• 01:51the program expanded a bit,
• 01:52and so now we work
• 01:53collaboratively as two institutions to
• 01:55run the program.
• 01:57As I mentioned before, so
• 01:59the rotations are six weeks
• 02:01long.
• 02:02So this is a bit
• 02:03of a commitment of elective
• 02:04time for residents.
• 02:06And we provide,
• 02:07pre departure training,
• 02:09both in terms of general
• 02:10global health ethics and other
• 02:12types of,
• 02:13sort of considerations
• 02:15as people prepare for their
• 02:16trips. We also,
• 02:18engage in post trip,
• 02:20debriefing,
• 02:22as well.
• 02:23In general, we prefer to
• 02:25send folks as third year
• 02:27residents or final year residents
• 02:29depending on which discipline you're
• 02:31training in.
• 02:32And that is primarily because
• 02:33we're looking to send you
• 02:36when you have the most,
• 02:38amount of skills to be
• 02:39able to offer,
• 02:40when you're working at our
• 02:41partner sites.
• 02:42But that said, we know
• 02:43that there are some of
• 02:44you who have had a
• 02:45deep commitment to global health
• 02:47and are very interested and
• 02:48and may see this as
• 02:49part of your future career
• 02:51path. And so there are,
• 02:52there are opportunities for people
• 02:54to go earlier on in
• 02:55training,
• 02:56if this fits in in
• 02:57a in a more,
• 03:00I guess, serious way to
• 03:01your sort of career trajectory
• 03:02and development while you're here.
• 03:05Importantly,
• 03:06one feature that has been
• 03:08embedded into our program is
• 03:09that your salaries and your
• 03:11benefits continue to be paid,
• 03:13while you are away on
• 03:15your rotation. And I would
• 03:16say,
• 03:17you know, having,
• 03:19engaged in this work for
• 03:20a number of years and
• 03:21talked with people at many
• 03:22other institutions that this is
• 03:24actually not a,
• 03:26given, that there are a
• 03:27number of institutions that will
• 03:28say, well, you know, you're
• 03:29not working at our hospital.
• 03:31Medicare pays for resident salaries.
• 03:33And so while you're not
• 03:35providing care here, we're not
• 03:36gonna provide your salaries and
• 03:38benefits. But I think the
• 03:39important thing to remember,
• 03:41is that for folks who
• 03:42are in our program,
• 03:43this is not something that
• 03:44you need to worry about.
• 03:45Because, certainly, we recognize
• 03:47that your rent,
• 03:49at your home institution, your
• 03:50rent at home still needs
• 03:51to be paid even if
• 03:52you are off doing a
• 03:53rotation elsewhere.
• 03:56As you'll see tonight, we
• 03:58have a variety of clinical
• 03:59sites that we engage in,
• 04:01and we try to have
• 04:02a diversity of sites, because
• 04:04we realize that not everybody
• 04:05is looking for the same
• 04:07type of global health education
• 04:08experience.
• 04:11When necessary, we provide,
• 04:13opportunities
• 04:14for translation services on-site. We
• 04:16do provide,
• 04:17information and support, financial support
• 04:20for housing.
• 04:21And we work closely with
• 04:22our partners to ensure that
• 04:24there is mentorship,
• 04:26and clinical supervision
• 04:28for you on-site. Although recognizing
• 04:30that clinical supervision may look
• 04:32differently depending on where you're
• 04:33working. And that's something that
• 04:34we talk about during our
• 04:36pre departure orientation.
• 04:38The other important piece is
• 04:40that,
• 04:41sort of embedded in the
• 04:42relationships that we have with
• 04:44the various sites where we
• 04:46partner,
• 04:47is a commitment to sort
• 04:49of bilateral
• 04:50capacity building and exchange. So
• 04:52whether that's bringing learners or
• 04:53faculty from those sites here
• 04:55to Yale for training in
• 04:57exchange for sending our learners
• 04:59to to work with their
• 05:00faculty,
• 05:01or other, you know, other
• 05:03priorities that they may have,
• 05:05in terms of capacity building.
• 05:06That is something that we
• 05:07feel very strongly about.
• 05:09You probably have already seen
• 05:11this, but we do have
• 05:12a specific website for the
• 05:13Global Health Scholars Program. The
• 05:15URL is listed here. But
• 05:17if you Google Yale Global
• 05:18Health Scholars Program, you will
• 05:20find our website and you
• 05:21can learn more
• 05:23there.
• 05:24Just to give an overview
• 05:26about the sites that we
• 05:27will be, working with in
• 05:29the next academic year.
• 05:31So our three,
• 05:33main sites on the African
• 05:35continent will continue to be,
• 05:38will continue to be sites
• 05:39for the program. So these
• 05:40are,
• 05:41the University Teaching Hospital of
• 05:42Kigali in Rwanda,
• 05:45the Makerere University College of
• 05:47Health Sciences and Mulago Hospital
• 05:49in Kampala, Uganda,
• 05:51and then Church of Scotland
• 05:52Hospital
• 05:53in Tugilaferi,
• 05:54South Africa.
• 05:56We additionally have two, domestic
• 05:58sites that you'll hear more
• 06:00about.
• 06:01One with the Indian Health
• 06:02Service in Chinle, Arizona,
• 06:04as well as the Bershba
• 06:06Springs Medical Clinic in Grundy
• 06:07County, Tennessee.
• 06:09And then a new site
• 06:10that is coming online that
• 06:12we're really excited to share
• 06:13with you,
• 06:15this evening is a site
• 06:16in Bogota, Colombia working with,
• 06:19colleagues at the Fundacion Santa
• 06:21Fe de Bogota.
• 06:22So,
• 06:23without oh, I also sorry.
• 06:25Before we get to that,
• 06:26just to reinforce that,
• 06:29that we do have,
• 06:30you know, the domestic global
• 06:32health electives in in addition
• 06:33to the international sites that
• 06:35I already mentioned. So we
• 06:36do, facilitate
• 06:38more urban global health, local
• 06:40global health elective here in
• 06:41New Haven, Connecticut,
• 06:43and then, and then rural,
• 06:46rural health opportunities, as I
• 06:47mentioned in Grundy County, Tennessee,
• 06:49as well as Chinle.
• 06:51We have also been able
• 06:52to send folks to work
• 06:53at Crown Point, New Mexico,
• 06:54which is a different IHS
• 06:56site.
• 06:57And so we're not sure
• 06:58yet if that will be
• 06:59available for the coming year,
• 07:00but just to know that
• 07:01that that is a potential
• 07:02other option.
• 07:04Okay. So here's our agenda
• 07:05for the evening. I think
• 07:06we're gonna be doing just
• 07:08fine, actually. Our first,
• 07:10our first speaker,
• 07:12is Laura Aponte Becerra, who
• 07:14just just literally came back,
• 07:17Tuesday morning, from her six
• 07:19week rotation in Kampala.
• 07:22We're then gonna hear from
• 07:23Savannah,
• 07:24who,
• 07:25went to Kigali, Rwanda in
• 07:28spring of twenty twenty four.
• 07:30We'll hear from Chelsea who
• 07:31was in Tula Ferry, South
• 07:32Africa,
• 07:33last fall.
• 07:35We'll hear from Kartik who
• 07:36was in Grundy County, Tennessee
• 07:38earlier this year.
• 07:40Welcoming back alumnus Chris Huber,
• 07:42who will be telling us
• 07:43about his experience in Chinle,
• 07:45Arizona last spring.
• 07:47And then Bernardo Lambo, who
• 07:48is one of our cardiology
• 07:50faculty here at Yale and
• 07:51has,
• 07:52been part of a long
• 07:53time relationship
• 07:54with,
• 07:55the new site,
• 07:57in,
• 07:58in Columbia, will be telling
• 07:59us a little bit more
• 08:00about work at that site.
• 08:02We also have all of
• 08:04the site directors
• 08:05for for these sites on
• 08:06the line. So if there
• 08:07are questions that come up,
• 08:08we will have time for
• 08:09q and a at the
• 08:10end.
• 08:12And then the other piece
• 08:13I would just say is,
• 08:14you know, here are email
• 08:15addresses for Laura, for Sheila,
• 08:17and myself. So if there
• 08:18are any questions that you
• 08:19have that you want to
