| The
Surgery in Salvador 2010 is a 2-week experience in
the city of San Salvador. The first week will
consist primarily of a “surgical brigade” staged in
a government hospital in Soyapango, where we will
operate on patients with limited economic resources.
The second week will consist of follow up care of
the surgical patients, medical clinics, and a
variety of cultural and recreational experiences.
Additional nonsurgical clinical experiences are
being arranged in the hospital and surrounding
communities for both weeks, and will be tailored to
the desires of the participants. |

|
Eligibility: This program is open to third and
fourth year medical students, interns, residents,

Requirements: Participants will be required to
participate in a 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 El Salvador. |
