Past intern still serving
You never really can plan for things like this pandemic hitting and disrupting all of your plans. I am seeing some positive things come out of this troubling time.Which was unexpected but wonderful.
Some of my previous interns, some in medical school, are working from home to help the folks in Honduras.They are providing funds, raising funds, and donating badly needed medical supplies to the people of Honduras. One of my interns, Allison and her family, raised the funds to help pay for the nurses badly fractured arm when she could not get the care she needed in the social system.
They are also donating for hospital supplies for the hospital that is in desparate need of help. This is a place where they have seen the conditions that the people have to face for care. They understand first hand how badly a 3rd world countries resouces are compared to the US.
Please continue helpinng these students learn and grow in their profession.
In Gratitude,

Due to the new corona virus restrictions for travel and fear of the future, the interns that were planning to come and work in Honduras are on hold pending the outcome of this current crisis.
This is very disappointing but understood as the proper way to handle the situation at this time. We are hopeful that the crazyness in this world will resolve quickly. In the meantime we will continue to care for people as they deserve to be cared for in this time.
We want to thank you for your support in this difficult climate. We plan to do what we can to help the people in need and the poor in particular as they have no recources.
With much gratitude,

Adding hospital experience

poverty, the puzzle
The student internship program at the Clinica de Esperanza (Clinic of Hope) in Honduras involves a variety of experiences. Interns in medical majors at college will learn everything they need to know about running a clinic in a 3rd world county. The difficulties and the rewards of this valuable service.
They are taught to run the front desk, work with physcians, work in the pharmacy, assist in triage and treatment plans and to work in village clinics. They also assist with housing projects, well and water filter projects and Eldercare. This year the laboratory has been made fully functional and students can learn microscope skills, how to run blood chemistries and blood counts. This aids them in the diagnosis process.
Because of this experience they are better equipped to handle 3rd world medicine.
This year we have added the hospital experience at the Hospital Esquela ( the largest teaching hospital in Central America). This will aid the students in understanding the difficulty of caring for people in the hospital setting without having the benefit of all the equipment and supplies usually required to do the job.
Our hope is that these young people will be better equipped to handle any situation in the future.
Thanks for your support.
