Rooted in an empowerment rather than dependency model, the Nuvance Health / University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine Global Health Program with active participation from domestic and international partners has gradually implemented unique features from decision-making to resource allocation, participant education to community engagement, capacity building to brain gain. We aim to shed a truthful light on a tragic past and present while evaluating our program’s components that combat and contribute to the savior complex model. During this session, a group of global health experts share their insights by citing examples of successes, failures, and challenges in their partnerships with the Global North. Learning objectives include an understanding of the colonial mindset in global health; the ways it weaves into global health programs administratively, pedagogically, and in clinical practice; its impact on the wellbeing of host institutions, patients, and communities; the steps our program has taken toward decolonization, including creation of a Global South-led taskforce and a Global South-Global South empowerment model; and ways the program hopes to grow. Examples of reverse learning and reverse innovations will be discussed. 12 Announcements continued on next page >>
OUR PEOPLE, OUR MISSION Global Health eMagazine April 2022 Watch this video!! Bani Adam by Saadi Shirazi In reflection of today’s social and cultural atmosphere, the field of global health is calling for a reckoning of its colonial past. The topic of “decolonizing” global health is a highly relevant investigation. Histories of slavery, redlining, environmental racism and the predatory nature of capitalism underpin the design of global and public health systems, resulting in structural, racial and ethnic inequities within Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) communities globally. There are many who call for a shift in the paradigm of global health and label this as a “decolonization,” where a critical eye is cast on the history of global health and shift its structure and administration, removing any repressive motives of colonial control. By a critical account of where the Nuvance Global Health Program stands in this respect, we believe it can make its mark in global health by providing a potential blueprint for mutually dependent programs. More importantly, giving the podium to partners from LMIC to discuss their perspective may open new dialogues toward more equitable, justified, and transparent partnerships. We review the changes of our program over the past decade in hope of delivering a better global health partnership between domestic institutions and institutions in LMIC. There is no question that we have a long way to go to equalize global health. However, transparent, respectful discussions among colleagues such as those in this panel is a critical step forward toward equity and justice.
