Field Guide to Global Health & Disaster Medicine

About the author

Dr Chambers trained in the US Air Force and spent 6 years practicing public health and primary care in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, working closely with host-nation healthcare providers. He then pursued surgical training and published three books on surgery with Jones & Bartlett. Upon being recruited to the Pentagon, he led the DoD's International Health Specialist (IHS) Program and the Defense Institute for Medical Operations (DIMO). Dr Chambers trained DoD medical personnel to build partnerships to improve other nations' medical capability and disaster preparedness. Through DIMO, Dr Chambers deployed 60 mobile training teams/year around the globe to teach topics from HIV/AIDS policy to trauma surgical techniques. Since then, he has continued to advance global health by publishing in peer-reviewed journals, coordinating high-level health exchanges with China, supporting the UN, and helping develop policy with NGOs and partner governments related to health systems strengthening and security.
