University of Kansas Medical Center’s Global Bridges

University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC) would like to share two collaborative opportunities sponsored by KUMC’s Office of International Programs. The detail of the programs are shown as follows:

GLOBAL BRIDGES

  • Global Bridges is a service offered by the Office of International Programs which connects you with a partner on campus, in the community, or abroad virtually who shares an interest in developing multi-cultural awareness. Sharing information and experiences about culture and language, history, values and lifestyles through Global Bridges will help participants meet new people, grow as an individual, prepare for and adapt to international experiences and increase in understanding of the world.
  • Goals:
    • To connect individuals who are interested in sharing about culture, language, customs, and beliefs for inter-personal and inter-professional exchange
    • To develop diverse connections and friendships across campus and throughout the world
    • To increase knowledge, awareness, and understanding of self and others

Foundations of Global Health

During this time, while international travel, exchange, and International Educational Experiences (IEE’s) are suspended due to COVID-19 restrictions and concerns, KUMC wants to “feed the minds” of residents, students, learners, and others who have a keen interest in and affinity for global health.

 This pause in activity is a great opportunity for our community to learn from those who are involved in global health activities here and around the world and increase our understanding of the field of global health. This may include global health research, philosophy, approaches, attitudes, and the efforts in the areas of health disparities, health inequities, and community health.

  • PRESENTATION FORMAT:  KUMC would like this platform to be an opportunity for participants to share about their personal journey, educational background, mentors, books, and articles that inspired them, challenges and lessons learned, successes and epiphanies, life-changing moments and the heart breaks.
    • These presentations can be either formal or more conversational with 20 minutes of presenting and 20 minutes of engaging with the audience. You decide your preference.
  • GOAL of the PROGRAM: The goal is to provide some foundational information on pathways into global health as well as informing the attitudes of KUMC’s students to help them become strong partners in global health who engage others in reciprocal relationships that are mutually beneficial.
  • PROCESS: If you are willing to present, KUMC would ask you to fill out this survey at Foundations of Global Health.
    • The survey will collect various information, including a few dates/times you are available to present Kansas City Central Time by Zoom.
    • KUMC typically provide presentations/programming at 12:00. However, KUMC can promote and support these presentations between 12-7:00 pm KC time.
    • KUMC hopes that students, residents, learners, and faculty from KUMC’s international partner institutions will also join for these educational presentations.  KUMC realizes that the time/day difference could be a barrier, so all presentations will be recorded and accessible for viewing.
    • Christine Hernandez chernandez12@kumc.edu  will manage the scheduling calendar and confirm your day/time based on the submissions received.
    • Please feel free to email directly with any questions, comments, suggestions, or needs. kconnelly@kumc.edu

 

INTRODUCING 2020-2021 OIP PROGRAMMING:  FOUNDATIONS of GLOBAL HEALTH

Global Health is a varied and exciting field to which many health care providers, researchers, and faculty aspire to being professionally engaged.  With KUMC’s being a globally connected world, and with COVID-19 uniting the world to solve an issue, global health has never been more relevant.  This year-long programming is designed to feature KUMC’s experts in the field of global health – KUMC’s faculty, researchers and clinicians; our international partners and our community partners.  Each presenter will share his/her personal journey, educational background, mentors, books and articles that gave inspiration, challenges, lessons learned, successes, epiphanies, life-changing moments and the heart breaks.

  • This series is created to support the development of global health professionals, giving participants inspiration as well as shaping attitudes around global health so that we at KUMC are trendsetters who move beyond the “us-them” “haves and have not” mentality to a platform of equality and mutualism which garners true collaboration and global health exchange for everyone’s equal benefit.
  • The goal of this series is to inform participants about the field of global health in its entirety to include global health research, philosophy, approaches, attitudes, and the varied efforts in the areas of health disparities, health inequities, and community health.

Foundations of Global Health is designed to inform and expose residents, students, learners, and faculty to leaders in global health; however, KUMC hopes that the faculty who contribute to this program will also attend to learn from and support colleagues from around the world.
