sparse and even a danger, in some cases, due to poor roads and infrastructure. As a result, this denies much of the poorer population, concentrated in rural areas, access to private healthcare, which in itself is costly, and even public healthcare in some cases, as it is based on a prepayment method. One may be able to comprehend that those in rural areas are less healthy and face higher rates of disease and mortality due to inaccessibility. Those who cannot afford formal medical professionals…

Around 70% on the populations live in rural areas and has limited to no access to healthcare services like hospitals or clinics. Citizens living in the rural areas using alternative medicine or rural government run health clinics. The high out of pocket expenses is almost 70%, which low-income people can’t afford. Only 15% of India’s populations have health insurance…

The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states, “a well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Most people would think that this section was written specifically for Militia, particularly considering the fact that the Nation had successfully revolted against England. In fact the Supreme Court agreed that this section addressed State Militia for most of the Country’s history. That meant…

The current state of education leaves little room for educators and leadership to believe that what works in rural education is the same prescription to save the students in urban districts. There are a whole set of challenges that are specific to the urban education community.

On November 28, 2015, I conducted an interview with Dr. Kellen Sherlock, a primary care physician at the Washington County Hospital. Dr. Sherlock began his medical career this past August; he attended Kansas State University where he majored in biology and then continued his education at Kansas School of Medicine. Dr. Sherlock was born and raised in Washington County; his father was a veterinarian, so he grew up quite familiar with some aspects of medicine. His favorite school subject was…

Amy, I enjoyed your discussion about wanting to help change how patients receive service. The quality of services and the amount of time a person waits for service. It would be difficult not feeling that enough could be done for the persons you would be charged in providing care for. Because there are fewer referral options for clients, mental health providers need to work with people presenting with issues across the life span and, as a result, may be challenged in terms of their…

I’ve had a variety of exposures to healthcare. I’ve worked in locations ranging from medically isolated villages in rural Africa to urban clinics in the United States, and I’ve been guided by physicians representing disciplines such as family medicine, infectious disease, and pediatrics.

The reason I am most interested in the Columbia-Bassett program is because it will provide me…
