| Social Medicine Course: In July 2015, we held our third annual social medicine course in Haiti, titled "Beyond the Biological Basis of Disease: The Social and Economic Causation of Illness." Run in collaboration with SocMed, Inc., and the University of the Aristide Foundation, this course brings together 10 Haitian and 10 international medical, nursing, and allied health students for three weeks of intensive immersion learning. The course gave the participating students the tools and network to address pressing global health needs in their future practice, working to build a generation of healthcare providers in Haiti and abroad with the skills necessary to impact the complex social factors that affect health on a large scale. The course had 20 direct beneficiaries; the number of indirect beneficiaries in this course cannot be known precisely, but we anticipate that a large number of patients will benefit in the future from the skills developed by these future practitioners. | $0 | $85,283 |
| Annual Haiti-based conference: In November 2015, we held our fourth annual Haiti-based continuing medical education conference on the topic of Interdisciplinary Collaboration in Healthcare. This year's conference reached over 200 participants with a variety of talks, interactive workshops, and networking sessions over the course of two full days. This continues to be the largest and longest-running continuing medical education conference in Haiti, providing valuable and rare opportunities to share best practices and ideas within the field to hundreds of Haitian health practitioners and students. | $0 | $37,122 |
| Launching a Medical Education Fellowship Program, which entails a year of intensive training and mentorship between Boston, MA and Haiti for two early-career Haitian physicians. | $0 | $29,862 |
| Other programs: These include our Visiting Professor Program, which matches international experts with Haitian institutions; our Teach the Teacher Program, which helps Haitian medical and nursing educators to develop strong teaching skills; Ongoing support of Haitian medical professionals through the creation and publication of computer-based modules, student-led conferences, mentorships relationships, and travel scholarships for Haitian professionals; and expenses related to creating and implementing rigorous monitoring and evaluation for all of our programs. | $632 | $11,201 |

| Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 | This total reflects a grant given to the alumni of EqualHealth's Social Medicine Course in order to support them in replicating a seminar from the conference for their peers at the University of the Aristide Foundation and other medical schools. |

| Form 990-EZ, Part III, Line 32 | In 2015, over 60 volunteers, many of them medical professionals, devoted an estimated 7503 total hours to our work, and in many cases, personally funded their trips to Haiti to support our efforts. The work done during an estimated 2783 of these volunteered hours required specific medical or nursing training. Given that our organization relies heavily on the service and expertise of our dedicated volunteers, many of whom provided us with services (including the development of educational materials, translation, web development, etc.) that would otherwise have needed to be purchased, and because the value of donated services is not taken into account in Form 990, the figure on line 32 is far lower than it would be if the value of donated time was taken into account. We therefore also include here the estimated total value of volunteer time and unreimbursed expenses in 2015, in order to provide a more accurate picture of the small percentage of our true "assets" that we actually devote to our non-program expenses. In 2015, we estimate that the value of volunteer time and services was $308,403. (This figure is a conservative estimate based on the Independent Sector's 2014 estimated value of volunteer time of $22.55 per hour for all volunteer hours not requiring special skills; the Bureau of Labor Statistic's 2014 mean hourly wage data for volunteer hours requiring specialized skills; and out-of-pocket expense, unreimbursed travel costs incurred by volunteers traveling to Haiti on EqualHealth business). |
