Dr. Therese Zink (1955-) is a family physician, teacher, and leader in family medicine and global health education. She is the recipient of a 2019 Fulbright Scholar Award to train family medicine physicians in the Middle East. She has done international health work throughout her career. Her award-winning stories on doctoring have been published in literary and medical journals, as well as anthologies. Inspired by her work with patients and students, Zink edited two anthologies: The Country Doctor Revisited: A 21st Century Reader (Kent State University, 2010), stories, poems and essays about rural health care today and Becoming a Doctor: Reflections by Minnesota Medical Students (University of Minnesota, 2011), a literary portrait of the many steps along the path to becoming a physician. Her own collection, Confessions of a Sin Eater (2012), includes stories that explore her journey and the privilege and burden of doctoring. Zink believes that holding the patient’s story is an important part of healing, and understanding how that story may intersect with one’s own is crucial to personal and professional growth. In 2014, she launched the Dr. Ann McLannly Global Health Books with Mission Rwanda. Dr. Ann navigates landscapes and cultures during conflicts that garnered little media attention when they occurred. Like the Global Health volunteers enmeshed with forces beyond their control, your adrenaline will pump as you become addicted to the intrigue, romance, and the challenge of practicing medicine on unfamiliar ground. Mission Chechnya was published in 2017. Mission Cambodia is forth coming. COVID Chronicles explores how essential workers have survived and coped during this first year of the pandemic.
