Description:

Director Trisha Pasricha’s documentary film, A DOCTOR OF MY OWN, examines a sustainable solution to the healthcare worker shortage sweeping across Sub-Saharan Africa: medical education. The film explores the emerging stories of Namibia’s inaugural medical students as they trek from the classroom to the countryside and encounter patients who have never before met a doctor from their own country.

Global Health Studies/IPD and the Program of African Studies invite you to a screening of this film on November 18th at 7PM at the PAS Conference Room, 620 Library Place.

Discussion with Director Trisha Pasricha to follow! Dinner served!
