  Tuscany program focuses on quality and risk management in emergency medicine
As part of continued efforts to enhance emergency medical services in Italy, a pair of HMI faculty led a two-day program on health care quality and risk management. Held at the Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria in Pisa, the workshop was designed to help clinicians in the region apply the core principles of health care quality and patient safety to the context of emergency medicine. 		 
  As hospital network grows, Acibadem Healthcare Group takes multidisciplinary approach
Since 2003, Acibadem Healthcare Group has teamed with HMI to develop high-level educational programs for its internal staff, the regional medical community, and the general public. Acibadem has made significant progress in the development of Kozyatagi Hospital, a center for cancer and neuroscience, and supported an intensive nursing professional development initiative. The group continues to expand its network, and in recent months has worked with HMI on a broad array of professional development and continuing education programs.		  
  Community-based efforts address HIV/AIDS epidemic in India
On December 1, 2005, health care providers and activists around the world once again observed World AIDS Day. Annually people come together on this day and the days following for a series of events to focus attention on HIV/AIDS. The events of World AIDS Day help to highlight scientific research related to HIV/AIDS, promote fundraising efforts, commemorate victims of this epidemic, and provide education to aid with prevention and treatment. With the most recent observance of this day just behind us, this seems a natural time to review the efforts of HMI and its partners to address HIV/AIDS.
