I want to welcome a new blogger and a very welcome addition to the team. I have included Rohan’s bio on the “About Us” page. It is also great to have a clinician perspective which is a major gap on other sites and blogs:

Rohan completed an MPH and MS from the University of California Berkeley/San Francisco Joint Medical Program and is on a gap year from his final year of medical school before continuing residency training in Family and Community Medicine. He is currently in India for a year as a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar conducting public health research and working on health journalism and storytelling. Read more at his blog: www.rohanrad.blogspot.com In the past Rohan has worked as a Fulbright Scholar on indigenous health disparities in rural Ecuador, as the assistant to the United Nations Liaison for Médecins Sans Frontières in New York, as a Human Rights Fellow in Northern Uganda on the health effects of displacement, and as a humanitarian health consultant on child protection and shelter for UNICEF and the Norwegian Refugee Council. He is a student organizer for health reform and an avid believer in rights-based approaches. His current interests include technology and creativity driven advocacy, health systems, cost-effectiveness, and translational research. He is based in the SF Bay Area but is currently in India until June 2010.
