The Institute for International Medicine is hosting the "INMED Exploring Medical Missions Conference from May 30-31 at the University of Missouri for those interested in working internationally.

This week's online resource is a compilation of viable market opportunities within global health.  BioVenture economically analyzes what areas of global health could be worked on and how this would benefit those that work on them. The point of the website is well summarized in a quote from Bill Gates, "Sometimes people ask me what field I'd be in if not computers. I think I'd be working in biotechnology. I expect to see breathtaking advances in medicine over the next two decades, and biotechnology researchers and companies will be at the center of that progress."   

This website should appeal to the business minded as well as the medically involved.
