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.
