Launch of the DAPM Global Health Pathway
September 10, 2023 | Beti Asnake, MD
The UCLA DAPM is excited to have created an educational global health pathway for its residents. As of July 2023, seven residents have joined the pathway and have already received their first lecture titled "Introduction to Global Health Equity in Anesthesia." They will be receiving monthly 1.5-hour lectures from the global health core faculty. Some of the lectures will be given by global health leaders in Internal Medicine and Surgery, making this curriculum truly multi-disciplinary. A full list of the monthly lecture and journal club meetings is below. The residents are also matched 1:1 with global health core faculty mentors, who will be guiding them through their quality improvement/research projects. The first on-site trip is projected to be in November 2023, and our division is hosting an ASA Global Scholar from Ethiopia in October 2023.
