Who Knew? Public Health is Hot!

I will be covering the annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative in New York next week. I'm particularly interested in Thursday morning's program on "expanding the global health workforce," especially after spending three months in Malawi learning about that country's nursing crisis.

Ironic that while so many nurses, doctors and other educated folks are emigrating from developing countries, more and more young American students are flocking to international health classes and programs. Money quote from today's Washington Post on the subject: "global health is a huge growth industry."

It may also offer a brighter future than a career on Wall Street these days.
