If you have been asking yourself "With all the changes going on in US health care today, and so much unmet need around the rest of the developing world, what am I doing here and why did I get into this profession in the first place?"---Welcome! You have come to the right place at the right time!
Let me be of help as one of your dream weavers. If you want to experience the adventure of international travel, if you want to give of yourself for a very rewarding return, and if you want to learn from real experts lessons on which we have to start catching up fast: "How to handle swelling volumes of varied health problems of greater severity in increasing populations with scarce and dwindling resources"--again, welcome to this International Medical Education Home Page at the George Washington University Medical Center!
My name is Glenn W. Geelhoed MD, and as you might see in my own Home Page, I am a professional hunter/gatherer of such experiences and a veteran global nomad with an incurable contagion I would like to transmit to you. This ideal you had when you applied to medical school does not have to be jaded by the realities and the insecurity in the unknowns of the status of health care in the flux of developed world changes. You can do a lot to help others with what you know already, and will accrue experience and confidence in applying those helping skills while enjoying the thrill of adventure travels to some of the world's more exciting places. In assisting some of the world's neediest people, empowering them to manage some of their overwhelming problems for which you have learned skills you can apply and transmit, you will be getting back ten-fold, in turn, the perspective, coping skills, and spirit of hope that your working visit will enhance on either end of this exchange!
Just start clicking your way to the dream you would like to follow!
So, now, get ready, and follow that dream! I do NOT know precisely how long your life will take, But, I know it will not take long. I DO know how much it can give; It will keep on giving forever. Glenn W. Geelhoed, MD
