NEW FUNDING FROM NIH TO SUPPORT GLOBAL ONCOLOGY PROGRAM CALLED CAREER TO TRAIN TRANSFORMERS IN GLOBAL HEALTH
March 1, 2024
Before the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the radiation oncology workforce reported only 7% practicing underrepresented minority (URM) physicians, with only 4% in academia. Data from the American Association of Physicists in Medicine also shows only about 3% of African Americans in Medical Physics including Radiation Oncology Medical Physics. There are similar disparities with Latinos and other under-represented minorities (URM) categories. Overall, these numbers have remained relatively stagnant for a while now. Diversity in radiotherapy practice remains woefully behind in its representation of physicians and medical physicists. Overall, there is great need for concerted efforts to increase the diversity quantity, and quality of the radiotherapy workforce to address the current RT limitations and reduce disparities. To address this unmet need, the CaREER (Cancer Research Education Excellence in Radiotherapy) program will train the next generation of scientists, technologists, and physicians skilled in research in emerging transformative areas of RT, and with innovation focus on addressing disparities in the USA and in global health

COLLABORATION INITIATIVES
GLOBAL HEALTH CATALYSTS SUMMIT
The Global Health Catalyst (GHC) summit is a premier yearly event dedicated to catalyzing high impact international collaborations and initiatives to eliminate global health disparities. The main focus of the summits are on the rising scourge of non-communicable diseases like cancer, mental health, pain and cardiovascular diseases which are severely impacting global health and economic development.
Since 2015, the yearly summits have led to many win-win collaborations including the launch of two major collaboration initiatives: the comprehensive cancer center in the cloud (C4) powered by artificial intelligence and the Global Phytomedicines collaboration initiatives.
WORLD PREMIER COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CENTER IN THE CLOUD (C4)
The C4 is an award-winning Expert-remote (tele-oncology) solutions platform, representing the world's premier Comprehensive Cancer Center in the Cloud (C4) powered by artificial intelligence. The C4 provides a platform to allow access from any where in the world to the same quality of cancer care research and education available at the world's leading comprehensive cancer centers. In cancer care the C4 integrates a tele-medicine platform allowing for tasked-shifted teleoncology with partners in low and middle income countries (LMICs). In research, the C4 supports collaborative research in the cloud including multi-center clinical trials. C4 education is implemented via the award winning collaborative education model via the global oncology University.
INTERNATIONAL PHYTOMEDICINES INSTITUTE
From Farm to Bedside
The Global Phytomedicines Institute (GPI) is a world leading collaboration initiative dedicated to dramatically increasing access to evidence-based medicinal plants for global health and economic development.
Vision: Unprecedented Health and Wealth from Medicinal Plants
Mission: Providing the best Research, Education, Consultation/care, and Outreach with different stakeholders and over a billion people who use Medicinal Plants across the world.
RELIGION AND GLOBAL HEALTH FORUM
The GHC is a major catalyst for the establishment of the Religion and Global Health Forum, with Major Hub at Drew University. The Forum partners with scientists, researchers, religious leaders, writers, poets, educators, counselors, etc. in the fields of medical, social, political, and environmental sciences, to host panel discussions, presentations, and partnership building platforms that will improve individual and public health outcomes across the world. The Forum brings the expertise of different health-related disciplines to share knowledge, strategies, challenges, and processes associated with examining religion as a health asset and a catalyst for health.
