The former president of Doctors Without Borders, Dr. Orbinski, is coming to Libby Gardener Hall at 11 a.m. on April 6th (a Tuesday) to give his 1 hour lecture, titled "Dignity and Global Health". This guy was president of Doctors Without Borders in 1999, when the organization accepted a Nobel Peace prize, so I'm going to go and check it out. My sister is in her 3rd year at the Utah Med School and since she can't go and I can, I'm going to do some recon for her.
I'm not positive, but I thought that a couple of people in class are Pre-Med majors or would like to go on to medical school. Since it seems like we're all interested in Spanish-speaking areas (otherwise, why would we be taking Spanish classes?), I figured that maybe a few of you would be interested in this guest speaker.
¡Finzamos!

How was it? I'll bet it was super-interesante. Have you heard of Partners in Health? It is a similar organization to DSF and has had a tremendous presence in Haiti. I think that PIH might be a little more politically active than DSF--not sure, though.
