The colonizer mindset is alive and continuing to ripple through academia, educational institutions,<br />
healthcare centers, and communities. Rooted in an empowerment rather than dependency model,<br />
the Nuvance Health / University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine Global Health Program<br />
with active participation from domestic and international partners has gradually implemented<br />
unique features from decision-making to resource allocation, participant education to community<br />
engagement, capacity building to brain gain. We aim to shed a truthful light on a tragic past and<br />
present while evaluating our program’s components that combat and contribute to the savior<br />
complex model.<br />
During this session, a group of global health experts share their insights by citing examples of<br />
successes, failures, and challenges in their partnerships with the Global North. Learning objectives<br />
include an understanding of the colonial mindset in global health; the ways it weaves into global<br />
health programs administratively, pedagogically, and in clinical practice; its impact on the wellbeing<br />
of host institutions, patients, and communities; the steps our program has taken toward<br />
decolonization, including creation of a Global South-led taskforce and a Global South-Global<br />
South empowerment model; and ways the program hopes to grow. Examples of reverse learning<br />
and reverse innovations will be discussed.<br />
