The Caribbean nation of Haiti faces unique challenges in putting its philosophy that “health care is a right” into practice. Kerling Israel, MD, MPH described the work of Partners in Health/Zanmi Lasante (PIH/ZL) to improve the nation’s health care through graduate medical education (GME), and outlined the challenges faced and progress made in her recent Baldwin Seminar Series presentation, “Improving Graduate Medical Education in Haiti through Collaborative Work.” The talk was presented April 3, 2019 at the ACGME offices in Chicago. This talk was also the first of the series to be streamed online for a live audience.

Results recently published from a national survey of more than 6,000 graduate medical education (GME) program and institutional coordinators, led by members of the ACGME Well-Being team and published in Academic Medicine, reveal concerning levels of depression, anxiety, and burnout—underscoring the urgent need for greater support and recognition of these essential professionals.
