My Journey into the World of Global Health
- First mentor, George B. Craig, Jr. got him into malaria
- Second mentor, King K Holmes
- Mentor relationship is important - forms a lifelong bond
- Went out to Africa to investigate AIDS
It was originally thought to only be in homosexual men but quickly spread to the rest of the population
- Met lots of people - relationships are really important!
- HIV becomes a huge problem in developing countries
- Term global health becomes prevalent as HIV/AIDS starts spreading
- Health is now an important foreign policy issue
- Social inequality/demographics are important
- Climate change causes natural disasters - harms health
