S2: E10: Emily Eglitis - Physiotherapist, Yogi and Physiyoga Instructor

In response to a need for wheelchairs identified by a physiotherapy school in Nepal, Emily initiated a project to help them acquire more wheelchairs. She elicited the help of physiotherapists at an Australian physiotherapy school near her and they are currently in the needs analysis stage of the project. Emily has found a creative way to participate in global health work while still being able to stay at home and be with her family. Not only is she helping address a lack of resources in Nepal, but she is also spreading global health knowledge through her work with physiotherapy students. I loved discussing this project with her and it got my mind buzzing with ideas for my own projects. I hope it does the same for you!

GP038: Global Health from Home with Emily Eglitis

Mohan Sharma

Voluntourism is a popular way to volunteer time and resources abroad. It is usually when an individual combines travel with some form of volunteer work. Listen in to understand the intricacies of these voluntourism opportunities and to learn that, despite best intentions, these trips are usually harmful. Emily speaks from the point of view of a physiotherapist who participated in a volunteer trip for 3 months in Nepal. Dr. Mohan Sharma speaks from the perspective of a neurosurgeon who works at a teaching hospital in Nepal.  The combination of their insights from both sides of the coin are invaluable. I’m so proud of this episode – please, please have a listen! I wish this was information that every single person knew before considering on an international volunteer mission.
