Weekly Round-Up, May 26th 2017
Hey guys! Here’s your weekly roundup….5 items, updates, and nuggets of goodness from your fellow alumni. Please share any additional tidbits in the comments!
1. On Self-Care
“In my current career I work in a high stress environment and am consistently interacting with people going through some of the toughest challenges of their lives. In order to be my best for my patients I have to have work-life balance and take time to care for myself. Some things I do to unwind are reading, snuggling with my dogs and cats, and working out. I also turn to my friends, family, coworkers for support and to decompress. My fellow GlobeMedders are also a huge source of support for me.” — the lovely Katie Coakley, GlobeMed Alumni Secretary
2. What We’re Reading
“U.S. aid for international family planning would be eliminated.
Programs to combat HIV/AIDS in the world’s poorest countries would be slashed by 17 percent.
Efforts to fight malaria would be chopped by 11 percent.
Those are just some of the cuts to global health spending called for by President Trump in the proposed budget he unveiled this week.”
