The world is grappling with a health and social care crisis, and here at the University of Salford we're stepping up to meet these challenges head-on. At the School of Health and Society, one of the largest educational institutions for training healthcare professionals in the UK, we've expanded our offering to meet industry needs. Find out more about how we're equipping the next generation of health and social care professionals 👀 https://lnkd.in/eqVYTbKb

IIGH, in collaboration with the KSOM Department of Population and Public Health Sciences, over the past year developed and adopted these Principles of Local and Global Engagement to guide all aspects of our research, education, and community programs. We collaborate with a broad range of civil society, academic, government, and UN partners, in the United States and around the world. We recognize our responsibility as an academic institution based in the global north to operate ethically and equitably within these partnerships. These eight principles form the backbone of how we seek to engage with partners worldwide and provide actionable guidance for our work. Aligned with international human rights norms, these principles emphasize respect for human rights as central to ethical and equitable engagement. Our commitment to justice, equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility is integrated into all areas of our work. Read more about these principles—including key components, actions, and the details about the process for development, which included reviewing similar initiatives and seeking input from our many partners here: https://lnkd.in/gYKfmgEr

The CT Public Health Fellowship Program offers experiential learning opportunities with public health agencies for students across Connecticut. "Our team at DataHaven investigates data coming in from national and statewide sources on a daily basis, and we also engage Connecticut resident in our own interviews and surveys, which are always fascinating." says Mark Abraham, a preceptor for the program at DataHaven. "I love to see the different ways that this information is used by people to help make their communities healthier and happier places to live."

Check out this important announcement!

I am thrilled to share the quarter project that I've been dedicating myself to for a course at UCSD. This quarter, I had the privilege to attending GLBH 104- Humanities, Ethics, and Professionalism: Engaging Moral Imaginaries for Exploring Health. This is a course that focuses on medical humanities and has enhanced my understanding of moral obligations in health. My project is titled ¡Salud Para Todos! (Health For Everybody). Exhibit Date & Location: TBA A health-inspired loteria is a visual art medium that addresses various health topics. This piece aims to encourage members of the Hispanic community within the United States to engage with their health more actively.  I aim combat the argument that culture is a hard limitation in health. With culturally sensitive projects, a culture can serve as a stepping stone towards fostering a healthier community. However my aspirations extend beyond; I hope my project inspires others to foster greater community engagement  and advocate for improved healthcare access. As I prepare for the exhibit, my goal is not only to showcase this project but also create a conversation about health equity. I believe we can make a future where health access is a reality for all.

One of the common questions I've heard over the years about Global Medical Brigades is when we will begin our work in a new country. It doesn't happen often. Where and when to expand are comprehensive decisions that take into consideration a multitude of factors. We ask ourselves and prospective community partners questions like: - Is our collaboration scalable beyond medical relief? Will it be possible to tap into and sustain local leadership to promote access to healthcare, public health and water infrastructure, and economic development? - What are the current and potential socioeconomic strengths and challenges at local, national, and regional levels? - What needs are prioritized and requested by prospective partner communities? What resources do we have to offer? Do these align? With our impactful history of sustainable development in Central America, strong local leadership, and high stakeholder interest, communities Belize became an undeniable fit for our program. It's exciting to hear feedback live from volunteers Aaliyah and Maggie from Montclair State University!
