Hi Dr. Paul Farmer,

It is truly an honor to be able to ask you a question. I am a first year medical student and I want to be a physician that serves those who don't have access to high quality health care both domestically and abroad. I am not sure how this will manifest (family? peds?) but I know this is what I want to do. I'm wondering how I might start to enter the field of global health care? I want to be conscious of the culture, language, etc and create sustainable care. How do you recommend physicians pursue a career in global health?

Thank you and if you ever find yourself on the west coast please consider visiting us at UA COM Phx!

Thank you so much for your insight. I am definitely wanting to be a part of the global health community here in Phoenix and I plan to investigate the opportunities available to me here! I just find your work incredibly inspiring and I would love to be a part of a culturally conscious organization like PIH. Thank you for all that you do. I am currently reading The Uses of Haiti and am eager to learn about the truth behind the US' involvement in Haiti's current situation.
