As part of the fellowship we spend 8 hours per week in the musculoskeletal lab with the second year DPT students.
During one of the labs I mentioned my passion and experience with the PT trips and was quickly explained about the trip over winter break the students had organized. I was excited to have an opportunity open up with a new school and new outlook on medical missions. I had done all of my trips with SU and was looking forward to getting a new perspective.
A total of 40 students and faculty will be headed down to Nicaragua on January 1st to ring in the new year PT style.
The students have done a great job organizing the trip, getting supplies and funds, and meeting to prepare for the trip.
For me this is very different going from organizer to faculty with less responsibility. I am going to try to help as much as I can from my past experience but also try to learn from the students and local organizations.
Looking forward to blogging during the trip (As long as we have WiFi)
