The IHA Medical and Health Humanities Working Group have compiled an impressive Research Snapshot from across the island of Ireland. This report was launched on 27 November at the Royal Irish Academy includes an overview of research in this area from 138 colleagues in Ireland. 'As will be clear from this document, the medical and health humanities scholarship Is a vibrant and growing area of research across the island of Ireland. Our universities on the island have considerable research activity in this area while this is also a growing field in other institutions. We hope that this overview will be a catalyst for further development of joint working between academics in Ireland, provide an information resource for further development of networks and wider research opportunities, and provide insights into the potency of this approach to health and well-being to those leaders and bodies directing strategies for research and development in Ireland.' https://lnkd.in/eCUGBd8t

Des Moines University Medicine and Health Sciences has added three new international rotation locations through its Department of Global Health, available to students beginning in 2025. 🌎 The new sites — Italy, Greece and Sri Lanka — will provide students with unique, hands-on experiences in diverse health care settings while deepening their understanding of global health challenges and cultural contexts.

The goal of global health is to improve health for all people; understanding social determinants of health in order to provide equity in health outcomes and mitigate barriers that create disparities. At DMU, one way we do this is by creating globally conscious health professionals. The department of Global Health provides opportunities for graduate students to engage in international travel experiences including medical rotations, internships, and short-term trips. We’ve added three new international locations!
