Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) offers a portable and cost effective solution for bed-side imaging to complement physical exams and aid diagnosis. As there’s limited data on whether there is a need for POCUS in Northern Ethiopia, the goal of this project is to assess the needs for a tailored POCUS curriculum for the local physicians working in university hospitals of Gondar and Mekelle.</p> Tue, 03 Nov 2020 21:57:21 +0000 Shiyang Shen 2649 at /globalhealth /globalhealth/article/global-health-night-2020-africa-global-health-programs-award-recipients/visuospatial-relationship-mapping-disability-and-global-health-policy-making <h2>Abstract</h2> Tue, 03 Nov 2020 21:28:41 +0000 Tamara Sogomonian 2648 at /globalhealth /globalhealth/article/global-health-night-2020-africa-asia-global-health-programs-award-recipients/antibiotic-overuse-primary-health-care-setting-secondary-data-analysis-standardized-patient <h2>Abstract</h2> <h3>Background:</h3> <p>Assessing whether antibiotic prescriptions are inappropriate requires knowledge of patients’ underlying conditions, which is often challenging in low and middle-income countries (LMICs), where misdiagnoses are frequent.
