I received an email yesterday just before heading out for the day. The email is from Dean Simmons--he is the dean of the medical school. He had received my name from the current president of faculty affairs at the medical center (Dr. Chorney). I had met with Dr. Chorney last year to talk about my interest in global health.
In short, the dean wants to know my thoughts on whether global health is important to our students' medical education (!!!).
Wowzers. This seems like a 'golden opportunity', an open-door etc etc. And not one that I sought out or strove for. I know this sounds cheesy, but I really see a parallel with how God worked in the hearts of rulers in the biblical times and how He is working in the hearts of the 'rulers' of the medical center (my chair, now the dean of the medical school...and did I mention that the Dean of the Medical Center who is the President/CEO of the medical center will be going down to Ecuador later this year to see what the med center is already doing. Ecuador is where the Global Health Scholars Program will be working, and I'll be going down there next month).
I want to make sure that my email response is honoring to God by being truthful and honest. So please pray for my response, if you would. And for my heart--that I would turn this over to God and that He would use my email as He sees fit.
