Distinguished Lecture Series: Tales from the Trenches: Ethical Dilemmas Delivering Cancer Care in Sub-Saharan Africa

Attempting to bring medical care to the developing world can be a vast challenge. From easily anticipated technical hurdles to the surprising economic and social and political ones; lofty aspirations are often dashed by revelations in the field. Cultural differences can confound the best of intentions and humility is the key to success. Dr. Aron Rose will discuss some of the great frustrations and rewards he has experienced attempting to doctor abroad over three decades. Dr. Rose serves as Chair of the Bioethics Committee for the White House's Sub-Saharan Africa Cancer Care Initiative. The Distinguished Lecture Series hosted by the Fielden Institute for Lifelong Learning at Indian River State College and brings experts and seasoned educators to the podium on current events including subjects in foreign policy; the environment; education; health; and the economy. The lecture is scheduled to last one hour with a refreshment break and a lively question and answer session.
