He notes that chronic disease accounts for 7 in 10 deaths and 75 cents of every dollar spent on health care in the United States.</p> <p>As 17th U.S. surgeon general, Carmona worked to revise our nation's approach to health by emphasizing the importance of increasing prevention, eliminating health disparities and improving health literacy.</p> <p>Carmona's rise to being "doctor of the nation" is particularly remarkable because of his disadvantaged childhood. He was homeless at age 6 and a high-school dropout at 17. Join us to hear Carmona's insights about our health-care challenges and opportunities - The Commonwealth Club of California</p> <p>Dr. Richard H. Carmona was born to a poor family in New York City. Dr. Carmona experienced homelessness, hunger and health disparities during his youth. The experiences greatly sensitized him to the relationships among culture, health, education and economic status and shaped his future.</p> <p>After dropping out of high school, Dr. Carmona enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1967. While serving, he earned his General Equivalency Diploma and went on to become a combat-decorated Special Forces Vietnam veteran. After leaving active duty, he was able to attend Bronx Community College of the City University of New York through an open enrollment program for veterans. He earned an associate of arts degree and then attended the University of California, San Francisco, where he received a bachelor of science degree (1977) and medical degree (1979). At the University of California Medical School, Dr. Carmona was awarded the prestigious gold-headed cane as the top graduate.</p> <p>Originally trained in general and vascular surgery after medical school, Dr. Carmona completed a <br />National Institutes of Health-sponsored fellowship in trauma, burns and critical care. He is a Fellow <br />of the American College of Surgeons. Recruited jointly by the Tucson (Arizona) Medical Center and <br />the University of Arizona, Dr. Carmona started and directed Arizona's first regional trauma care <br />system, and became the chairman of the State of Arizona Southern Regional Emergency Medical <br />System, a professor of surgery, public health and family and community medicine at the University <br />of Arizona, and the Pima County Sheriff's Department surgeon and deputy sheriff.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/38259-stem-cells-politics-vs-medicine">Watch the video</a>

<p>Fire knows more than most people about the mysteries of genetics. Come learn about genetics and RNA interference from the winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize in medicine, for advances in gene silencing - a process that allows cells to selectively turn off specific genes.
