Peter Killcommons, M.D., serves as the founder and CEO of Medweb, a medical imaging, teleradiology, and telemedicine company based out of San Francisco, California. Through his efforts, Medweb excels at the forefront of integrated healthcare. Pete Killcommons has worked with hospitals in Kabul and Jalalabad and is also involved in International Rotary. 

International Rotary consists of rotary clubs, which bring together individuals to share ideas; Rotary International, which coordinates global programs; and the Rotary Foundation, which uses donations to fund projects worldwide. Rotary consists of 1.2 million people working together to create positive, lasting changes in communities around the world. 

Recently, Rotary approved a $500,000 grant to the World Health Organization to fight a polio outbreak in Somalia. The grant covers the cost of human resources, training, and transportation of the necessary health workers to immunize children 10 and under in accessible areas of Somalia. Rotary's emergency funding to fight the polio outbreak in Somalia helps minimize the disease's further international spread.

Peter Killcommons serves as the CEO of Medweb, an organization that provides the technology for connecting medical staff and diagnostic testing to people in remote areas. Outside of his work at Medweb, Peter "Pete" Killcommons works at hospitals throughout Afghanistan through nonprofit organization Rotary International.

Founded in Chicago in 1905, Rotary International now consists of 1.2 million members on six continents. The organization works for human development through such programs as Rotary Peace Centers, which have graduated over 900 peace fellows.

Each year, Rotary chooses some 100 peace fellows, for whom it funds master’s degree fellowships in peace, conflict prevention, and conflict resolution at premier universities around the world. Fellowships last between 15 and 24 months and include a summer internship. Graduates from the Peace Centers go on to work for national governments, nongovernmental organizations, law enforcement agencies, and other entities.

For those with experience in a peace-oriented field who are looking to strengthen their professional skills, Rotary also offers a three-month certificate program to as many as 50 people per year at Thailand’s Chulalongkorn University. To learn how to apply for the master’s degree or certificate programs, please visit rotary.org.
