HIGHLIGHTS<br />
Global Health Bridge Week for the Class of 2023<br />
Written by Aurdree Frey, MPH<br />
Coordinator of the Global Health Program at UVMLCOM<br />
On January 31 through February 3, 2022, the Global Health Bridge course<br />
Andrea Green, MD<br />
was held for University of Vermont medical students in the class of 2023.<br />
This is a highly interactive course, with workshops Professor held of Pediatrics on many relevant<br />
topics, beginning with small group projects Director on of the the Global Global Burden of<br />
Health Program in the<br />
Disease and Priority setting on Monday morning. Monday afternoon<br />
Department of Pediatrics<br />
we welcomed guests from our New American at UVMLCOM community in Burlington<br />
for a Culture and Health session where students learned cultural<br />
humility strategies and heard from our guests about their experiences<br />
Child Health and the Gendered Impact of Global<br />
Health workshops started the day on Wednesday,<br />
followed by the Environmental Impact on<br />
Humanitarian and Migration Health in the afternoon<br />
during which students worked on a tabletop exercise<br />
using the UN Interagency Standing Committee’s<br />
cluster approach to humanitarian disasters. Thursday<br />
began with a Great Debate in which students were<br />
assigned to groups either for or against controversial<br />
topics such as genetically modified mosquitoes, how<br />
governments from the Global North should or should<br />
not intervene in emergencies in the Global South,<br />
and whether or not high-income countries should<br />
give COVID boosters while many in low- and middleincome<br />
countries still need a first dose. Next was<br />
a workshop on Human Trafficking which featured<br />
local experts in the field, and the week concluded<br />
with a very timely session on Pandemic response.<br />
The students were highly engaged and enthusiastic<br />
about the topics, making for an impactful and<br />
enjoyable week for all participants.<br />
