In 2008, I moved to Les Cayes, Haiti to live out my dream of changing the health status of the poorest country this side of the planet, by practicing "political medicine." This blog begins by telling my story of when I first moved to Haiti until now, as a second year medical student. I partner with non-profits to train rural Haitian youth to become community health workers in their villages, empowering a people to take control over their own health and save their own lives.
In the pharmacy, reading up on what to do with a Filariasis patient.
Going over the list of available meds on the first day of clinic.
Learning how to work the ultrasound machine.
Fritz and I in the lab. I'm running a hematocrit while he checks for sickle cell in a blood sample.
Hope for Haiti
