Dr. Walker and Dr. Stauffer were on MPR this morning at 9am.
While they covered many topics in the area of Global Health, one focus of the discussion was the need to educate seasoned health care providers and emerging health care providers (as well as the public) on the migration and evolution of infectious disease as well as the existence of chronic disease among globally mobile populations.
