"In a world of dramatically worsening health disparities, Dr O'Neil's book offers physicians and other health care professionals a logical means through which they can directly improve global health through service in poor countries. He provides a roadmap for selecting, preparing for, and integrating a global experience into current practice or study. Dr O'Neil's contribution should unleash a new cadre of international health care volunteers, and, more importantly, shift the focus of the medical profession toward global health inequality." - Kathryn E Johnson, (Retired) CEO Health Forum "...gives individuals direct opportunities to provide medical care and education in countries with large populations of the poor and medically underserved. These two books (A Practical Guide to Global Health Service and Awakening Hippocrates) should become essential reading for every medical student and resident in the country, as well as anyone else who cares enough to address directly the health inequalities that plague so much of humanity." - Robert Sparks, MD, Dean Emeritus Tulane University School of Medicine, President Emeritus and Senior Consultant for the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, former Chancellor of the University of Nebraska Medical Center, member Institute of Medicine. "These two books (Awakening Hippocrates and A Practical Guide to Global) should comprise an important tool in what I hope will be a genuine global movement both to understand and to remedy the great disparities in global health that afflict our times." - Tracy Kidder, Pulitzer-prize winning author of Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr Paul Farmer, A Man Who Would Cure the World Robert Sparks, MD, is the Dean Emeritus of Tulane University School of Medicine, President Emeritus and Senior Consultant for the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, former Chancellor of the University of Nebraska Medical Center, and member of the Institute of Medicine.
