These trends are not yet well understood but have a great influence on the burden of disease and the work of nurses and others in health systems in these countries. The global burden of disease Program, run by the health metrics institute and Who is now engaged in its third round of creating global estimates of all causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. These have become the most widely used estimates for the majority of countries in the world who lack comprehensive disease and death registries. dr. garfield is coordinating the section of this program focusing on conflict-related injuries and deaths. Faculty member Dr. Kara Ventura examines a Haitian child in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake dr. dohrn and dr. smith attended and presented at the first meeting of the Who/PePFAr Technical reference group on nursing education held at Who headquarters in geneva, switzerland in July, 2010. The goal of these meetings is to produce formal Who global policy and technical guidance to assist countries, development partners and other stakeholders in efforts to expand their professional workforce and improve the alignment of medical and nursing education with evolving population health needs. Future Columbia’s Who Collaborating Center looks forward to expanding its international scope with its own students and faculty and by encouraging partnerships with other Who Centers and populations. it will continue to build the legacy that Anna maxwell began so long ago.
School of Nursing Award Recipients Rebecca Greene, bs Irrepressible. That’s one way to describe Columbia alumna Rebecca Greene. Ms. Greene, who earned her bachelor’s degree in anthropology from Cornell University, completed the first phase of Columbia’s Combined BS/MS Program in 2009. She is a continuing student and is working toward her Doctor of Nursing Practice degree. She was also recognized this year as an Alumni Association Scholar. The summer found Ms. Greene in Mexico under the auspices of Child Family Health International, an international aid organization that places health science students in overseas health programs. “I went with a local nurse from a rural clinic to make house calls, or rather hut calls,” she said describing her field work. “We saw a newborn girl who wasn’t even named yet. Her mother had traveled nearly four hours in labor to the hospital for a Caesarean section because the local midwife had noticed that the baby’s hand was sticking out of the birth canal.” “We finished our rounds by checking on a nine year-old boy with chicken pox. He wasn’t itching so much, eight days in, but his grandmother was worried, and rightly so, because he had many pox on his lips and tonsils,” Ms. Greene said. “Just two days before, his tonsils had swollen and almost closed off his throat completely. Luckily with time his throat opened up again.” Being bilingual, Ms. Greene is no stranger to Spanish-speaking communities. After college, she worked in Los Angeles as a health educator leading HIV prevention classes in Spanish. She spent a semester studying anthropology in Seville, Spain and worked at the Caribbean Primate Research Center, in Cayo Santiago, Puerto Rico.

For Ms. Greene, experiences abroad offer an opportunity to observe and perform patient care in unique settings. “Some of the children are afraid of healthcare workers,” she said. “Not to mention tall foreigners.” Ms. Greene is grateful to the Alumni Association for furnishing her 2010 Annual Fund Scholarship, and is honored to be counted among such an elite group of nursing professionals.
