4. International Humanitarian Aid Surgery CME Course
Stanford University, School of Medicine
February 22-23, 2014
This workshop will help prepare the International Humanitarian Aid Volunteer Surgeon to function in a low resource setting.
In developing countries, the surgical volunteer must truly be a "generalist", able to handle an array of surgical conditions. The 1� day course will provide an overview of the scope of conditions that one might encounter in resource limited environments. Through a variety of techniques, including skill stations and simulations, participants will familiarize themselves with several relevant procedures, as well as the essential elements of surgical safety, ethics and cultural considerations in such settings. Specific skill areas that will be taught are orthopedic dislocations and fracture management with traction pins and external fixation, cesarean sections, post-partum hemorrhage, burn management and hand cutting of skingrafts, tendon repairs, tropical medicine for surgical diseases, emergency craniotomy, and low resource anesthetic techniques.
Register by Jan. 24, 2014.

5. Univ. of Arizona Global Health Clinical and Community Health Course
2014 Program date: July 7-25, 2014
*You don't need to be enrolled at the University of Arizona or a part of the Global Health Distinction Track to participate in this course.
Program Description
This is Element 3 of the Global Health Distinction Track.
The University of Arizona Global health course, begun in 1982 and revised annually, is a multidisciplinary, case-based, problem-solving course preparing clinical students and residents for health care experiences in developing countries. Other health professionals with clinical experience in any medical or public health field may apply as well.
This is a full-time (80 class hours), interactive course, with an optional medical/cultural weekend field trip. Faculty are all experienced clinicians from several departments at the University of Arizona or elsewhere. Visiting medical students receive up to four weeks' elective credit at their home school (which must also arrange the actual overseas preceptorship).
We believe this is one of the most specific and useful preparations for North American senior medical students, residents, and public health students planning a field experience in a developing nation. Our commitment is to evidence-based clinical and public health - with most of the content derived from WHO and international sources.
