Series 6

Picture of a globe.

"The past 50 years have witnessed a significant acceleration in medical technology, yet there are still countries with virtually no access to health care with weakened infrastructures where even food, clean water, and basic hygiene cannot be taken for granted. Health problems cross borders, so too must their solutions and the lessons learned. This continuing education series will explore coping with global emerging diseases: where we are today, where we are with technology, and where we are going in the new millennium."
