Underserved Medicine: Globally and Locally – the 2016 Hughes Endowed Lectureship in the Health Sciences
Nov. 3, 2016
7 -8 p.m.
Golisano Center, Room 101
Millions, if not billions, of people in the United States and the rest of the world do not have adequate access to healthcare. Dr. David Holmes (clinical associate professor of Family Medicine and director of Global Health, Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, University at Buffalo) will explore disparities in healthcare and what can be done, locally and globally to address this significant problem. Dr. Holmes will share his clinical experiences in Kenya, India, China, Haiti and Buffalo, NY. He will also suggest ways students and others can get involved to make a positive difference in the health and well-being of those in need. A reception and time for further discussion will follow.
The Hughes Lectureship recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the health sciences or to health care. The lecture provides an academic forum for the university community, area health care professionals and members of the general public to address topics of importance in contemporary health care.
