While serving as a physician overseas in resource-poor countries,
Dr. James Chambers recognized the need for a practical, portable
reference for non-specialist healthcare providers to orient them to
common issues when serving in new situations, whether due to
geography, austere environments, or complex humanitarian disasters.
Field Guide to Global Health and Disaster Medicine draws on the
experience, training, and perspectives of committed healthcare
providers from diverse nations and backgrounds to provide the most
essential information for maximum utility in the field-whether in a
refugee camp, operating room, disaster response scene, or other
demanding environment. Helps providers prepare for service
overseas, organize data to develop differential diagnoses,
assimilate information on infectious and environmental diseases,
and effectively serve the patients they will encounter. Provides
concise, easy-to-read coverage of how to approach a differential
diagnosis for infectious diseases overseas; nutritional, sexual,
and environmental conditions; surgical and anesthesia care;
long-term and short-term systems-based challenges, and more. Covers
key topics such as Approach to Refugees and Internally Displaced
Persons, Medical Response to Disasters, Mental Health in War and
Crisis Regions, and Considerations for Pandemic Preparedness and
Response. Acknowledges the wide variance of different cultures,
motives, resources, and limitations in the global health arena, and
helps readers understand the factors which impact the efficacy and
sustainability of care strategies. Enhanced eBook version included
with purchase, which allows you to access all of the text, figures,
and references from the book on a variety of devices.
