Healers Abroad:
Americans Responding to the Human Resource Crisis in HIV/AIDS

Healers Abroad, a new report from the Institute of Medicine, outlines how to mobilize a volunteer corps of health professionals who can train and work alongside their counterparts in developing countries to tackle HIV/AIDS and other diseases.
