Conference Involves Students
Group Aids Health Care
By ANN CONNER
Kansas Staff Writer
Living conditions on an Indian reservation, family health in the ghetto and sex education are the primary focus of the City Conference of Student Professional Organizations. The conference provides an approach to community health care, according to Norman B Kahn, second-year medical student at the University.
In a telephone interview recently, he said that students in medical school include non-medical faculty organized to consider a wider definition of health problems. He noted that students not only disease but also socio-economic factors that determine the total well-being of a com-
Since 1966, he said, the concern is that he brings interdisciplinary care to KU communities, especially those which suffered from poverty and unemployment.
The conference is composed of k medical nursing and social work pharmacy students from the University of Missouri-Kansas City area hospitals, as well as students in sociology, economics
"We ARE STUDYING the correlation between conditions of poverty and conditions of health. We know that there are areas that we don't cover in our present education." Kahn said. In the past, he said, health was less expensive than it is now.
In addition, the students are educating themselves in aspects of health care which are not covered by traditional institutions, according to Kahn.
Five Compete For Queen Of Exposition
Five semifinal candidates for the queen of the Engineering Exposition were chosen Sunday in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union, according to Haussher, Lawrence senior.
The candidates are: Wendy Wise Walton, Prairie Village sophomore; Pamela M. Price, Des Moines, Iowa, sophomore; Susan B. Lombard, Ableone C. Bornath, M. Orloski, Kansas City M. Kan, sophomore; and Janet M. Warman, Mission junior.
From the semifinals, the candidates will go to the finals held during the Engineering Exposition on March 16 and 17. At the opening ceremony of the reign over the opening ceremonies of the Exposition.
The physician's job was simply to extend the life span by treating the patient's symptoms.
The theory of health care developed by the conference contends that the old concept has a negative comutation. Kahn emphasized that the conference defined health as a sense of total preventive medicine, included preventive medicine and maintenance as well as disease.
"We are taught the cure but not much preventive or health care," she said. "We don't learn to deal with causes of health problems, we are taught how to treat them."
"FOB EXAMPLE, there is rat bite fever. We can cure the fever by giving a patient back the ghetto where he will probably be bitten by rats
Therefore, one of the conference's goals is to make healthcare aware of issues of community health care to they are not exposed in traditional institutions. Another goal is to seek to involve traditional institutions in a wider range of health care, education and research.
Past and present conference projects in Kansas City, usually developed by individuals within the group rather than by the
conference as a whole, include a well baby cline in a poverty area that had no cline before, an adult day program, a youth center and a clinic to meet the special needs of our airport community, Kansas City.
IN ADDITION to the Kansas students, Kankan and last summer at the reservation north of Topeka for the Potatoatwaters, Kickapoo
"Rather than arriving with a black bag and declaring, 'I'm here to help you,' we try to ask, 'Can you use us to do for you?'," he said.
The new approach, Kahn said, illustrated the conference's theory that health care was more effective if it was based on what is known rather than what an outside situation thought they needed.
"We try to deal with the problem of health as defined by the Indian community." Kahn said. "It involves working with people who are facing their problems of environment; sanitation, roads and housing."
HE SAID the job also involved some short show in *state and federal* courts, and courage them to take a more active and responsible role in the justice system.
problems
In accordance with this philosophy, the conference student works consulted the team from the tribal council to get their views. The requested bug spray application for dogs, emergency medical transportation, window screens and an Indian cultural awareness
"One of the biggest health problems of that population is adolescent suicide and death from loss of hope," said Kahn.
He said he thought the program to aid the reservation would be active again this summer.
TO MEET THE variety of health problems now under consideration, the conference is being held in fields such as law, education, sociology, economics and psychology as well as the health profession. Kahn said that the conference's main role was that of a communicative forum. He said the conference also had about 50 members.
He said the conference was a clearing house of information. "If a student wants to plug into a project of some kind, he can do that," he said. "We have information and knowledge of projects that come up."
