Honoring Dr. Paull Farmer: "Bending the Arc" Film Screening

Join us for a screening of "Bending the Arc," a documentary about a team of young people — Paul Farmer, Jim Yong Kim, and Ophelia Dahl — whose charitable medical work 30 years ago ignited a global health movement.

"Their goal was simple but daring: to make high quality health care available to everyone, even in the world’s poorest countries. Fighting entrenched diseases, political and bureaucratic machinery, and the existing charity and medical establishments, these crusaders took their fight from the village to the world stage, to ensure that health care is a right for all, and that geography should not determine destiny."

UMB faculty and staff will share a few memories in honor of Paul Farmer, who recently passed away.

The event is sponsored by Ciheb and CVD at the School of Medicine; the UMB Graduate School; Office of Global Health at the School of Nursing; the Physician Assistant Leadership Program; the School of Pharmacy; and the School of Social Work.
