Hi Megan and Bob, 

Thanks for your excellent Stanford Africa Table "Human Papillomavirus Screening in Rural Zimbabwe" talk today - http://events.stanford.edu/events/774/77479/. 

I'm writing to say hi, and to introduce you and Stanford Chair of Medicine Bob Harrington MD - https://profiles.stanford.edu/robert-harrington - to one another, since Bob and I talked in his office last autumn about World University and School's online medical schools with online teaching hospitals for online clinical care in each of ~200 countries' official/main languages (which I mentioned to you), and since you are a Stanford Medicine MD Pathology Resident, and are planning further medical research in Zimbabwe (and have even taken the Medical Boards in Zimbabwe, so know its medical system). Thanks too for replying, in response to my question, that Zimbabweans are hungry for medical education. 

In the Q&A after your talk today, I asked further about ways in which your research on Human Papillomavirus Screening in Rural Zimbabwe might develop in Google/Verily's and Stanford and Duke's Project Baseline and eventually into a map for health for Zimbabweans. I'm curious how even Project Baseline (with Project ECHO) might emerge into online teaching hospitals for clinical care with online medical schools, in each of ~200 countries' official/main languages (which World University and School, which I'm developing, is planning). (Here are some Stanford video talks about Projects Baseline and ECHO, by Baseline's Chief Medical Officer Jessica Mega MD here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/11/mesic-habitat-stanford-surfacing-human.html - and by ECHO's founder Dr. Sanjiv Arora MD here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/06/torrubiella-stanford-grand-rounds.html - and with a compendium of related links here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/02/lithops-collaboration-between-stanford.html). 

Bob is involved in Project Baseline from both Stanford and Duke perspectives, I think, since he's a former Duke cardiologist (along with his colleague and friend, Rob Califf MD, a co-founder of Project Baseline and Duke cardiologist, whom I heard talk and met recently at UCSF).

I hope online medical schools might emerge out of a Project ECHO environment (with its MD specialists to rural populations, in group video, with a mentoring aspect). Since you went to the University of New Mexico Medical School, and know of Project ECHO, I'm curious too, how we might move beyond its 140 diseases toward the 30,000 diseases (by one Google Search estimate) that may exist (if one takes a disease-centric approach to medicine). And perhaps, as I mentioned, the New England Journal of Medicine's continuing education modules (CME) can become the basis for at least the first 2 years of an online medical education, by translating this CME into all ~200 countries' official/main languages.  

Concerning the realistic virtual earth for STEM research, I mentioned - think Google Street View with time slider / Maps / Earth / Translate / TensorFlow / Brain - and at the cellular and atomic levels too, it would be fascinating to see how - possibly emerging out of Google's Project Baseline itself - online hospitals might emerge uniquely in this in the future, and even with avatar bots (that correspond to the 10,000 real participants in Project Baseline) for clinical care, research, bioengineering, genetic therapies, and eventually even actual-virtual remote tele-robotic surgery. 

Zimbabwe World University and School's online Medical School for degrees - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - with online teaching hospital - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hospital - will emerge from Zimbabwe WUaS from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - in Zimbabwe's main languages.

(World University and School seeks to become the online Harvard / MIT / Stanford / Oxbridge of the Internet in each of all ~200 countries' main languages (and in all 7097 living languages as wiki schools) for online MD degrees, (as well as Ph.D, Law, Bachelor, and I.B. international baccalaureate high school diplomas). 

In what ways might we explore some of this further re your, Megan, "Global Health Equity Scholars Fellowship: A consortium of UC Berkeley, Florida International University, Stanford & Yale" - https://ghes.berkeley.edu/fellows/2016-2017-fellows/u-s-fellows/megan-fitzpatrick-md/ ? And in what ways also might online cardiology and pathology develop with new foci in Project Baseline and in Project ECHO ... and even into a realistic virtual earth as medical schools, as teaching hospitals, and as STEM research field site? 

And how best might we talk further about an online medical school with online teaching hospital for clinical care in Zimbabwe, Megan? 

Thank you.
