Reconciling Compassion with Practice in Global Health
Download or share our Save The Date for the 2012 Global Health Symposium.
Compassion is a fundamental source of motivation and a core driver for those working in the field of global health; yet the role of compassion in global health remains unclear and can itself lead to undesired consequences. Interest in the practice of global health is dramatically increasing in students, educators, practitioners and researchers.
As the pursuit of global health opportunities grows, palpable tensions arise between the expression of compassion, the ethics of practicing healthcare in different cultures and the staggering health needs of large populations of vulnerable people.
Through expert faculty, a keynote address, interactive workshops and a career planning session, this conference will provide learning opportunities to begin to analyze and reconcile these tensions. Critical discussions about the many ethical questions surrounding compassion, ethics and practice in global health will be prominently featured.
