What if the people best positioned to save lives aren't always healthcare professionals? Dr. Wagaki Gicheru shares how she helped Kenya train more than 11,000 motorcycle taxi drivers as first responders, her journey from anesthesiology to medical education, and her work advancing simulation and digital learning. She also discusses her partnership with Northwestern University and why global health often begins by addressing needs in your own community.
