The Global Health Minor team, in the Department of Global Health, are pleased to present the film “First, Do No Harm” made by Alyson and Tim Holland
Description: “First, Do No Harm” is a qualitative research documentary that explores the ethics of global health clinical electives and volunteer projects in low-resourced areas. It features interviews from global health providers and students from around the world, and examines the purpose, effectiveness and fairness of medical student participation in international initiatives.
The film highlights the passion and energy of those engaging in global health, and its purpose is to increase dialogue around often uncomfortable ethical considerations by engaging a wide audience and making the issues accessible.
The film was created to assist in pre-departure training, but its reach has grown immensely. Anyone interested in or concerned about these issues are invited to attend.
The 45-minute film will be followed by a discussion with audience members co-lead by Sheridan Reiger, second year medical student at UW and concurrent MPH Epidemiology student and David Citrin, doctoral student in the Department of Anthropology and an alumni of the MPH global health program.
We look forward to seeing you! Jennifer Lucero-Earle, Co-Adviser, Global Health Minor, Department of Global Health Natasha Merchant, Program Administrator and Co-Adviser, Global Health Minor, Department of Global Health
