DR. JOHN LAWRENCE

We were fortunate enough to host Dr. John Lawrence, president of Doctors Without Borders-USA (also known as Medicins Sans Frontieres or MSF), as our guest lecturer this year. Dr. Lawrence has served as president and vice president of the board for MSF-USA and as a surgeon in the Central African Republic, Ivory Coast, Haiti, Syria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Liberia. Adding greatly to the course, Dr. Lawrence was able to facilitate wonderful discussions on global health and expound upon his experiences and challenges working with MSF.

We look forward to his continued partnership and anticipate working with him in the upcoming years.
