| The
Honduras Experience 2008 will be a 2 week trip to
the north coast of Honduras, to include the cities
of La Ceiba and San Pedro Sula. The first week will
consist of a “surgical brigade” staged in Hospital
Suizo, where we will operate on surgical patients on
the waiting list from the local government hospital.
The second week will consist of follow up care of
the surgical patients, and a variety of experiences
to include visits to a variety of Honduran health
care facilities, a Honduran medical school, and
opportunities to interact with and “shadow” Honduran
medical students and interns in the hospital
setting. |
 |
| |
|
Eligibility: This program is open to third and
fourth year medical students. Other health care
workers and nonmedical individuals interested in
participating in the surgical “brigade” are more
than welcome during the first week! OUCOM third and
fourth year students will receive two weeks of
elective credit for participation in the program. |
| |
|
|
Requirements: Students accepted into the program
will be required to participate in a short cross
cultural / medical orientation program. Spanish
language is helpful, but not necessary. Participants
need to be able to tolerate heat and humidity, and
to be flexible in regards to, time, transportation,
food and housing accommodations while in Honduras.
