UC Berkeley student survey

Hi everyone, I'm a student at UC Berkeley researching the ethics of AI in healthcare for a class. I'd really appreciate if you could take the time to fill out my survey for my research! It takes ~5 mins and is anonymous.

New Hope for Early Cancer Detection

I just read that Mainz Biomed and Thermo Fisher are working on a global colorectal cancer test, and honestly, this is the kind of progress we need! Catching cancer early makes such a difference, and having a test that’s easier and more accessible could help so many people. It’s amazing to see two leaders in the industry focusing on something that can truly change lives. So excited for what this means for global healthcare—this feels like the start of something great

stressed about career path

im currently a junior pursing my bachelors in global health and biological anthropology. i’ve always had an interest in both natural and social sciences and these degrees allow me to explore both of those, but i literally have no idea what i want to do when i graduate. i go to a t10 school and i feel like im wasting my education by not knowing what i want to do with my degree

i like global health because i like working with the public and working on widespread issues and i like anthro because im specifically working with forensic anthro and i love the problem solving and biology aspect of it

i know this is supposed to be a cool time in my life where i get to explore lots of interests but its actually just severely stressing me out so if anyone has any career advice please let me know!

Free and Open Access Global Health Curriculum

Today the Medical Student Alliance for Global Education (also known as MeSAGE) published a new Global Health Brick Collection. Designed specifically for medical students, this free, open-access collection offers a comprehensive exploration of global health challenges and solutions.

Key Features of the Collection:

  • Comprehensive Coverage: The collection explores various international health topics, including non-communicable diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and the importance of coordinated action.
  • Practical Applications: Students will develop the skills to identify key stakeholders, advocate for improved health outcomes, and navigate the complex landscape of international medicine policy.
  • Free and Open-Access: The collection is available to all medical students at no cost, ensuring widespread accessibility and impact.

Why Global Health Matters

Global health isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a critical field shaping healthcare’s future. Understanding global health is essential for medical students for several reasons:

  1. A World of Patients: Our world is increasingly interconnected. Diseases can spread rapidly across borders, and health challenges often require international solutions. Whether students plan to practice domestically or internationally, a global health perspective will help them navigate the complexities of modern medicine.
  2. Addressing Health Inequities: Global health focuses on improving health outcomes for all people, regardless of location or socioeconomic status. By studying global health, they'll gain a deeper understanding of health inequities and develop the skills to address them.
  3. Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Global health problems are often complex and require solutions beyond traditional medical interventions. By learning about global health, you’ll develop the ability to collaborate with experts from various fields, such as public health, economics, and social sciences.
  4. Personal Growth: Studying global health can be a transformative experience. It can broaden horizons, challenge your assumptions, and inspire you to impact the world positively.

Why do some affected countries refuse to speak out on Nestle’s recent sugar scandal?

On April 17, 2024, Swiss nonprofit Public Eye released a report alleging that Nestle baby food products sold in low- and middle-income countries contain high levels of added sugar. Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan were among those affected. Since then, regulatory authorities in Bangladesh and India have announced their own investigations relating to the issue. Pakistan, on the other hand, has been silent. What does this mean for long-term public health outlooks?

I write more about this here.
