Anthropology, medicine & the new president of Dartmouth

Dr. Jim Yong Kim and Bill Moyers gave a fascinating interview last
night on PBS. Dr. Kim has spent the last 25 years helping improve
delivery of life saving drugs for diseases like TB, HIV and malaria to
the 3rd world where health care spending averages $3 per person
annually.

Now, as the new president of Dartmouth he wants to add systems level
thinking to the delivery and outcomes to our health care system in
hopes of improving care in a country where health care spending tops
$7k / person.
