AbstractPerson centered medicine has emerged as a response to the organ specific, technical and fragmented medical treatment and care that has evolved during the last century in health care systems worldwide. Nevertheless, person centered medicine is not a new concept, as it is rooted in ancient medicine, exemplified by the medical culture of the ancient Greeks. The main components of Person Centered Medicine described here are the cornerstone for successful medical treatment and care. The physician needs to use his communicative skills for this purpose, adhere to attentive, empathic listening, be aware of the cultural, social and educational background of the patient and understand the expectations of the patient for the therapy ahead. He must place the narrative of the patient at the center of clinical evaluation. For this to be possible, the physician needs to have the necessary professional competence and to adhere to the basic ethical principles of medicine. He needs to collaborate not only with the patient, and in some instances with his or her family, but also with other health care workers, whether in a close therapeutic team or with individual professionals. He needs to critically evaluate evidence‐based medicine that is most often presented by various, complicated statistics and to adapt the results of research to his patients in a person centered fashion. For this to be possible, the curricula of Medical Faculties, as well as to mainstream, continuous professional development programs, needs to include the components of Person Centered Medicine.

Medical care in developing countries is challenging. The providers have the knowledge of best practices, but these often can not be used due to lack of funding and resources. This leaves healthcare less than subpar and full of innovations to make it work. This presentation is an overview of our experiences observing healthcare in Uganda. Topics include, in field operations, maternal fetal medicine, traditional healers, dentistry, lack of healthcare in rural villages, and the lack of medical tools and resources. Healthcare work was observed at the Kigezi Healthcare Foundation in Kabale, Uganda. KIHEFO is a non-profit non governmental organization (NGO) that provides care to many people throughout the Kabale area This organization is founded and operated by Dr. Geoffery Anguyo, an expert in HIV and public health. A main issue in Uganda was funding, KIHEFO didn't have enough money. The Public Health department would like to help this situation by hosting a coin drive and doing a tooth brush collection drive before our next trip. These two fundraisers should help improve medical situations at KIHEFO, providing medical supplies for those in need. During Christmas break, a group of 11 students and 2 Faculty members traveled to Kabale, Uganda to learn about global health. The best way to understand global health is to immerse yourself and experience global health.

"The ethics of sports medicine is an important emerging area within biomedical ethics. The professionalisation of medical support services in sport and continuing debates around issues such as performance-enhancing technologies or the health and welfare of athletes mean that all practitioners in sport, as well as researchers with an interest in sports ethics, need to develop a clear understanding of the ethical aspects of the sport-medicine nexus. In this timely collection of articles, sports ethicist Mike McNamee and other leading international scholars explore the conceptual and practical issues that shape and define ethics in sports medicine. Examining central topics such as consent, confidentiality, pain, doping and genetic technology, this book establishes an important baseline for future academic and professional work in this area. "--
