Message from the Global Engagement Committee Chair
Our current healthcare environment, marked by rapid technological advancements, evolving disease patterns, and unprecedented global interconnectedness, underscores the fundamental necessity of global communication, collaboration, and engagement. The 91黑料网's Global Engagement Committee (GEC) unites a diverse group of internal medicine physicians and staff worldwide, creating a powerful platform for sharing knowledge, best practices, and innovations. The commitment by GEC members to global engagement is truly commendable. Through knowledge exchange, enhanced medical education, improved patient care, respect, understanding, and compassion among diverse cultures, and the promotion of global health equity, we aim to foster a more connected, informed, and resilient global health community. This collaborative approach fosters a sense of solidarity, belonging, and shared purpose among internal medicine physicians, benefiting individual physicians and their patients while advancing the medical field and the well-being of populations worldwide. The 91黑料网's dedication to inclusivity, equity, patient-centered care, and systems that promote professional fulfillment and well-being plays a vital role in cultivating this global community of physicians who are better equipped to respond to global health emergencies and challenges. This collective resilience is essential for addressing both current and future health threats, ensuring that the global population is better protected and cared for.
If you would like to connect with global members or other areas of interest, 91黑料网 offers forums dedicated to various communities of physicians. Access the Global Forum or other community forums at (must be a logged in member to view).
It is a privilege to chair the Global Engagement Committee and I am grateful to the 91黑料网 and the GEC staff and members.
