Our team consists of 23 members…it has been amazing being a part of a unified team. It gets so busy yet everyone is so gracious & patient with one another. It’a awesome to see our professors hard at work. We are able to work alongside them while learning at the same time.

There are several sections that made up our clinic: triage, a waiting area to see providers where teaching is being done, an area where patients are being assessed by healthcare professionals, the pharmacy, a station for basic labs, and areas to hand out free items such as clothing or food. As students we rotated in all of these areas; we got to do and learn soo much. We also gave out a lot of clothing and around 2,000lbs of corn & beans! They are so poor yet are the most appreciative people I have ever met. They beam with gratitude anf happiness when they receive a hug, clothing, food, medicine, prayer, or free supplies. The knowledge that we deem as common sense can be life changing for them. Teaching is so important; I’m thankful for how much teaching we are able to do here. Today many students specifically taught about Chikingunya virus, first aid, and diabetes. I primarily worked with the healthcare providers and in the pharmacy today. We saw a variety of patients, young and old, with a variety of diagnoses. I really enjoyed assessing patients and preparing medications in the pharmacy. I have been using the Spanish that I know, as well as learning (and relearning) a lot more. It’s been very helpful conversing with everyone here.
