Volunteer Surgeons Needed in Malawi - Opening for January - March 2012
We have openings for a volunteer surgeon to serve as a visiting faculty member in the Surgical Intern Training Project at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital/College of Medicine (QECH/COM) in Blantyre, Malawi. The surgeon will provide lectures and hands on training according to a general surgical curriculum. Both active and retired surgeons with current license and teaching experience are encouraged to apply. Physicians for Peace and QECH/COM will provide airfare, housing, support staff, and a car for use, as well as a small stipend to defray living expenses.

The Amazing Race - Shoes for Campers
The Amazing Race is one of America’s top network TV reality shows, where teams compete in a race around the world to compete in both mental and physical challenges along the way—all in hopes of capturing a $1,000,000 prize. Physicians for Peace’s Mary Kwasniewski had her "amazing race"—but her prize was far greater than $1,000,000—she brought smiles to disabled children in Haiti.
