\"wall-e\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the Disney-Pixar movie Wall-E, a tiny robot is left on Earth to clean up the trash remaining after humans have long departed. Wall-E\u2019s existence consists of a mundane routine of sifting through lifeless rust, garbage and refuse. That is, until one day when he encounters for the first time a living plant, one whom he must guard and protect. Suddenly, his life is filled with adventure and purpose.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Earth\u2019s citizens are living luxuriously on a cruise ship style spacecraft. They\u2019ve grown shamelessly fat and deconditioned from the computerized comforts and have all but forgotten that their voyage was never intended to be permanent. When the captain learns of Wall-E\u2019s plant discovery, he concludes it\u2019s time to return home. Suddenly, creature comforts have little value. What matters most is fulfilling his mission and safely landing the passengers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Many health care professionals today are like both Wall-E and the captain. We find that a world of lifelessness and personal comforts is not satisfying. We want a challenge, a life that matters; one that makes a difference. In 2009\u00a0INMED is introducing a new learning opportunity for those who seriously want to care for the poorest of the poor. The International Medicine Intensive Course is a two-week event designed to give health care professionals the knowledge\u00a0fundamentals. It builds upon the information provided in INMED\u2019s current International Medicine Online Course, but will go into much greater depth. The course will address:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2022 Determinants of health for developing nations<\/p>\n

\u2022 Diseases of poverty<\/p>\n

\u2022 Cross-cultural competence in health care<\/p>\n

\u2022Health leadership<\/p>\n

\u2022Personal skills for international living<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A 20-member faculty is assembling on June 1-12, 2009, on the main campus of the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Beyond\u00a0to the knowledge and skills attained, this course will provide participants with the opportunity to become personally acquainted with leaders in medical missions and international medicine \u2013 like Joe LeMaster MD, MPH, a graduate of the London School of Tropical Medicine who served ten years in Nepal, and Nancy Crigger, RN, PhD, an authority in medical ethics and veteran healthcare provider in Latin America.\u00a0Those who successfully complete the course of study and who pass the final examination will receive the INMED Academic Qualification in International Medicine. More importantly, they will be better on their way toward a life that matters in defense of the\u00a0living.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
