Dr. Robert Einterz, associate dean for international programs and professor of clinical medicine at the Indiana University School of Medicine, will draw upon his experiences in Indianapolis and Kenya to tell stories to illustrate many of the important lessons he has learned.

When: Friday, April 17, 3:00 PM
Where: IUPUI, auditorium of the University Place Conference Center

So what’s going on at this event? The Last Lecture offers the university community the opportunity to hear reflections on life�s lessons and meaning from a retired or current IUPUI colleague of exceptional merit. The lecturer will be asked to share with students, staff, faculty, and the general public the wisdom she or he gained through academic pursuits and life experiences � to distill a life of inquiry, reflection, and service into important guidance for successive generations.
Einterz is co-founder of the Indiana University-Moi University (Kenya) exchange program that led to the creation of AMPATH (the Academic Model for the Prevention and Treatment of HIV/AIDS). AMPATH currently provides for more than 55,000 HIV-infected patients in Kenya and has reduced the rate of HIV infection significantly in that country by providing medical treatment and addressing the poverty that fuels the spread of the deadly virus.
