BRI Poverty Inc documentaryy
From the film's website:
"The West has positioned itself as the protagonist of development, giving rise to a vast multi-billion dollar poverty industry — the business of doing good has never been better. Yet the results have been mixed, in some cases even catastrophic, and leaders in the developing world are growing increasingly vocal in calling for change. Drawing from over 200 interviews filmed in 20 countries, Poverty, Inc. unearths an uncomfortable side of charity we can no longer ignore."

This event is generously supported by Benjamin Rush Institute, SUNY Med Council, and University Council.

Medical College of Wisconsin — BRI/AMA Journal Club: Monthly Meeting of the Minds

Medical College of Wisconsin, Kerrigan Auditorium 8701 W Watertown Plank Rd, Wauwatosa, WI, United States

Forty-five (45) students joined us for MCW's BRI/AMA joint Journal Club's "Monthly Meeting of the Minds." This month's theme was "The Basics of Healthcare Finances Every Doctor Should Know."

During February's BRI/AMA Journal Club lunch talk we tailored our presentation specifically for an area many medical students don't learn about. While medical students learn the ins and outs of scientific medicine, they are given little to no education on the financial aspects involved with medicine. Therefore, BRI at MCW decided to give a "crash course" presentation outlining all of the various payment options and plans in the American healthcare system today. Lunch was provided to those who attended.
