On March 13, 2012, The Peace Corps, the U.S. Presidents’ Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), and the Global Health Service Corps announced an innovative public-private partnership to place nurses, physicians and other health professionals as adjunct faculty in medical or nursing schools overseas. “The Global Health Service Partnership is an innovative initiative to address the need for health care professionals in countries hard-hit by HIV/AIDS,” said U.S. Global AIDS Coordination Ambassador Eric Goosby. Physicians and nurses will gather at the Peace Corps to assist in planning the contours of this partnership, which is scheduled to begin sending health care professionals abroad in 2013. Precise date and time to be announced.
