Quick Summary
“Respiratory medicine is deeply connected to social and structural determinants of health in terms of the diseases that we try to prevent and we treat. I think that connection to people's lives and society more generally really appealed to me—it's tangible and as respiratory physicians we have an obligation to be advocates as well as clinicians”, says Claire Calderwood, Academic Clinical Lecturer in Respiratory Medicine at the National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London, UK, and Postdoctoral Researcher at The Health Research Unit Zimbabwe (THRU ZIM), Biomedical Research and Training Institute, Zimbabwe.
