A book every MPH student should read!

A young medical student who spends most of his medical training in Haiti practicing what he is learning. He spent years in a place where medicine did not reach the locals and built a thriving clinic that centered around public health needs.

I read this book a year and a half ago and am still inspired by Dr. Farmers experiences. He has broadened his practice to many other countries dealing with multi-drug resistant tb, Aids, hunger, etc...

View the website he founded: Partners in Health at I recommend that each student read this book, you may be able to find it at a local library!
