This past week we welcomed the incoming students to campus. We had several zoom orientations over the summer, so it was great to meet everyone in person! The Harvard Medical School Department of Global Health and Social Medicine hosts two masters programs: the Harvard Medical School Master of Medical Sciences in Global Health Delivery and the Harvard Medical School Master of Science in Media, Medicine, and Health. We hosted orientation sessions for each program individually and also team building exercises for both programs. These are some photos from our Friday team building sessions, a fun way to get to know each other!

Alum Galal Elshishiney, MBBS, MMSc ‘22 is the Head of the Central Administration for Healthcare Quality at the Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population. Galal was in Boston for an education program and stopped by to say hello to the new students during our orientation lunch. He talked about his MMSc-GHD thesis project “Among the Egyptian Population, Identifying and Understanding the Causes of Change in Mortality Among Non-COVID-19 Patients in Comparison with the Previous Year's Records”. He discussed how he built on that project and expanded it to a larger project for his PhD dissertation.

When asked what advice he had for students, he said to plan a thesis with a reasonable scope and focus on developing knowledge about research methodology. He said once you know the research methodology, you can develop a larger-scale project in the future.

We are grateful to Galal for stopping by and for offering this excellent advice to our new students!

Alum Jude Beauchamp MD, MMSc visited the MMSc-GHD office recently. Jude conducted his Master of Medical Sciences in Global Health Delivery thesis on tuberculosis care in Haiti. He then completed a residency in psychiatry. He was recently awarded PGY-3 Resident of the Year by One Brooklyn Health. He is now working as a Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Fellow at Mass General Hospital and McLean Hospital at Harvard Medical School. It is always wonderful to see alumni and hear about the work they are doing!

We recently welcomed Odunayo Talabi, MD, MMSc ’22, for a conversation with alumni, faculty, and second-year students about SheltasHealth, the organization he founded to help ensure healthcare AI is useful in diverse contexts.

Odunayo came to the MMSc-GHD program with an entrepreneurial background, having founded PrettyHealthCare in Nigeria. His MMSc-GHD thesis focused on HPV vaccination in Nigeria, and his work later helped inform the Nigerian government’s national HPV vaccination campaign.

At the recent talk, Odunayo emphasized the importance of involving healthcare workers from diverse settings in the development and evaluation of AI models. He noted that Sheltas is building a global network of domain experts to help ensure healthcare AI is useful, equitable, and contextually appropriate.

As Odunayo shared:

“An efficiently evaluated and contextualized model favors everyone: the model builder who achieves a higher standard at lower cost, the patient who isn't ‘fine-tuned’ out of the algorithm, and the provider who meets the ethical requirements of their profession while delivering quality care at scale.”

Odunayo welcomes others to learn more about SheltasHealth and connect with the team if you’re building healthcare AI designed to work across diverse settings at sheltashealth.com.

We love keeping in touch with alumni as they continue their careers and learning about the work they do to improve health across the globe. We also love making connections among students and alumni. Below are some photos from 2022 when Odunayo graduated from our program.
