Aug-29(Wed) Sangha Teleconference

Post Disaster and Primary Care in Developing Countries

The basic commonality in both post disaster scenarios and primary/specialty care in developing countries is the lack of infrastructure and the need for continuous training when the initial acute disaster teams depart. Telemedicine affords the luxury of both basic and sophisticated learning and can evolve with the needs of the area. We will be highlighting a few key areas to address post disaster management and perhaps even more importantly building of infrastructure to address chronic and preventable disease.

Dr. Michael Simon will be showing a laporoscopic nephrectomy and will be discussing Urologic priorities in both disaster recovery and primary care. Training in performing preventive care and screening in developing countries is essential for all countries.

Dr. Ana Tamayo is a Gynecologist who strongly believes that there is an alarming lack of screening services and skills in Women’s health, especially screening for cancer. She will be demonstrating a cervical conization (LEEP) and hysteroscopic endometrial ablation. She will also be focusing her talk on colposcopy and cervical cancer screening

Art Therapy in Developing Countries and in Post Disaster Zones

Dr. Gaelynn P. Wolf Bordonaro, ATR
Emporia State University
Psychology and Special Education
Art Therapy Program

Dr. Wolf Bordonaro, along with a team from Burapha University, Dr. Sachan Puapan and Dr. Then Lertsiri, will introduce the field and practice of art therapy. Medical intervention models increasingly recognize the significance of both the physical and mental health of clients; the non-verbal symbol systems inherent in art therapy make it ideal for addressing psychosocial issues within cross-cultural contexts and across language barriers. Panel attendees will learn how professional art therapy services can play a significant role in providing psychosocial assessment and intervention within the infrastructure of medical care delivery systems.

.

TATA Memorial Hospital has been a leader in telemedicine in India and has been pushing aggressively for increased bandwidth for live interaction to promote teaching and consultation. The team will discuss their experiences and needs.

Aug-30(Thr) 9:00-10:30 Session 1: Network and technology update for medical activity

1. Update in CSTNET (Jiangning Chen/CSTNET/CN)

2. GEANT2 (West David/TEIN2/EU)

The talk will profile DANTE and the current GEANT2 network, serving the European research and education community and its interconnections with other regional R & E networks.

Abstract:  This presentation will focus on Health Science drivers and applications that require or take advantage of advanced networking resources such as Internet2.  It addresses the way in which Internet2 is working with the health sciences and healthcare community to capitalize on the advanced networking and related capabilities in support of research, teaching/learning and clinical care activities. The talk will then focus on efforts to extend connectivity to rural healthcare clinics and other related topics.
