Celebrate Barnard Professor Amy Zhou's New Book, Unequal Worlds of Care: The Politics of Global Health in Malawi

In conversation with Sanyu Mojola, Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs at Princeton University and Nitsan Chorev, Professor of Sociology and International and Public Affairs at Brown University, Author Amy Zhou, Assistant Professor of Sociology at Barnard College, will discuss her new book Unequal Worlds of Care: The Politics of Global Health in Malawi on Monday, Oct. 19, 6-8pm. Register here.

Book description: The book examines how individuals deliver and access healthcare in a landscape unevenly shaped by humanitarian aid, with a particular focus on programs to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV.

Abstract:
Global health experts are optimistic that the end of AIDS is within reach. Yet while programs to combat HIV/AIDS have been essential, they exist alongside public healthcare systems that have struggled to gain donor attention and support. Unequal Worlds of Care examines how policymakers, providers, and patients in Malawi navigate a healthcare system transformed unevenly by foreign aid.

Whether through engaging in political resistance, refusing treatment, or leveraging the opportunities available to them, people contend with global health programs that only partially recognize their healthcare realities. Ultimately, overlooking fundamental aspects of healthcare limits even the best-intentioned efforts to improve people's health and well-being. Amy Zhou provides a comprehensive portrait of the human costs of institutional constraints—as well as the ingenuity and dignity of the people continuing to pursue care along these uncertain pathways.

Student Research Internship Program in Critical Care Neurology - Columbia University Medical Center

Applications are open for the Student Research Internship Program in Critical Care Neurology at Columbia University Medical Center. 

The goal of the Student Research Internship Program is to provide undergraduate students at Columbia and Barnard career development opportunities in medical research. Qualified students will be exposed to the basics of medical research through a series of training modules and gain hands-on experience working on current research studies within the Neurology Intensive Care Unit. All student researchers will be strongly encouraged to participate in the publication process and it is a realistic goal for every student to work towards shared authorship on a poster or paper for a peer-reviewed conference or journal. Advanced students will be encouraged to develop their own projects under the supervision and support of their mentor. 

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) Outcomes Project 
A brain aneurysm is a sac, or bubble, that forms on an artery that supplies blood to the brain.  If it ruptures patients begin to hemorrhage in and around their brain tissue, often severely.  After aneurysmal rupture, 10% of patients die suddenly before ever receiving medical attention.  Of the patients that do reach the emergency department or NICU, from 20% to 30% arrive comatose, of whom half die within three months. While these numbers are grim, research in the last twenty years has led to a much better understanding of this disease and has led to new treatment models and interventions that have greatly improved the long-term outcome of patients who survive an aneurysmal hemorrhage. 

The subarachnoid hemorrhage outcomes project is an ongoing epidemiological study that has enrolled 700+ SAH patients over the last nine years.  A medical profile is constructed for each enrolled patient which involves interviewing the patient or family about their past medical history, documenting procedures, complications, radiology, and physiological status during their hospital stay, and following up with patients at three and 12 months to assess their current level of functioning and quality-of-life.  This invaluable data allows the team to address questions regarding SAH etiology and course, as well as evaluate the impact of existing and new therapeutics on outcome. Over 50 peer-reviewed journal articles have been produced from this study. 

Premedical students that can devote eight hours a week for a minimum of one year are encouraged to apply for this opportunity. First years and sophomores are preferred. This internship opportunity is for Columbia and Barnard students only. 

To apply, please read the following instructions.

1. Please send a cover letter and resume to preprofessional@columbia.edu.
2. This application also requires a transcript. Barnard applicants must include a copy of their transcript in their email.
3. Please title your email "SAH Outcomes Project Application - Name"
4. Applications are due 11:59pm, Wednesday, September 23 and must have all materials to be considered.

APSA Pre-Medical Mentorship Program

The American Physician Scientists Association (APSA) is the largest national organization representing physician-scientist trainees, with over 2,000 members from more than 100 institutions across the United States and its territories. We are excited to invite mentors and prospective graduate and professional school applicants to participate in our Pre-Medical Mentorship Program. This is a program where current physician-scientist trainees serve as mentors throughout the academic year to pre-medical undergraduate/post-baccalaureate students interested in becoming physician-scientists. This is a valuable opportunity for pre-medical students to form a longitudinal one-on-one connection with a physician-scientist trainee and receive personalized advice/feedback towards achieving their career goals. All mentor-mentee pairs receive “monthly prompts” with discussion topics specific to the physician-scientist training path. Some past topics included MCAT study strategies, MD/DO-PhD interview-specific advice, and insight into a day in the life of a physician-scientist trainee. Mentees may sign up for free and do not need to be an APSA member.

The mentee application can be found here and is open now until Thursday, October 5th, 2026. Please reach out to angel.garces@physicianscientists.org and andrew.gotschall@physicianscientists.org with any questions.

Fall 2026 PAVERS Program at NYU Langone ED

The application to our Fall 2026 Patient Advocacy Volunteer Program in Emergency Room Services (PAVERS) has officially opened! 

PAVERS is offered in the fast-paced emergency departments at NYC Health+Hospitals/Bellevue, NYU Tisch Hospital, and NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn. In the ED, PAVERS volunteers are given the opportunity to explore the reality of a career in medicine as they provide patient support during procedures, advocate on behalf of non-English speakers, comfort family members and loved ones, and establish deep relationships with patients. In addition to physician attendings, residents, RNs, and NPs, our volunteers engage in meaningful conversation with patient care technicians, behavioral health assistants, certified nursing assistants, and hospital janitorial staff. 

 

The true cornerstone of the PAVERS program is, however, patient advocacy. Our emergency departments serve those whose medical diagnoses are complicated by homelessness, food insecurity, undocumented immigration status, and mental health crises. Through hands-on experience in one of New York City’s level 1 Trauma Centers, our volunteers are exposed to numerous aspects of patient care and advocacy while working closely with clinical staff.

 

PAVERS volunteers must commit to two consecutive semesters of two weekly 4-hour shifts from 8am-12pm, 12-4pm, 4-8pm, or 8pm-12am, as well as a cohort-wide, once-per-month Sunday meeting. More information about PAVERS and our other volunteer programs can be found on our web page. The application for PAVERS Fall 2026 is now open and will officially close on June 1, 2026.

 

If you have any questions about the program or application process, please feel free to reach out to BellevuePavers@NYULangone.org, BrooklynPavers@NYULangone.org, or TischPavers@NYULangone.org.
