Spanish social determinants of health researcher visits UW-Madison, Fellows

Rafa Cofino
In October, Rafa Cofiño, a Spanish primary care physician and public health practitioner from Asturias, Spain, came to the University of Wisconsin Madison to learn about what was going on at the UW Population Health Institute and to teach us a few things about social media along the way. In addition to trying his first fried cheese curds, Rafa got to meet Population Health Service Fellows, public health partners around Wisconsin, and UW staff and faculty, including those at the County Health Rankings and Roadmaps project (Rafa and colleagues have implemented a similar project in Asturias: http://www.obsaludasturias.com/obsa/). For those interested in graphic illustration of the multiple determinants of health, you might want to check out Rafa’s site: http://merops360.com.ar/Examples/VirtualTours/El_Centro_de_la_Salud/El_Centro_de_la_Salud.html
