Honduras Trip

Catalog description

A 10-day trip to Honduras is planned to begin the end of April with approximately 15 students invited. INTERDIS 422C is a prerequisite for this trip. A certain number of students with Spanish fluency are needed for the trip. Those traveling to Honduras will visit a local Honduran hospital and additionally provide medical care to patients in a rural area during 6 days of the trip. A trip to Copan and an indigenous Mayan community is also planned. There is a non-refundable $3500 fee that is required for this course and will be charged upon enrollment. For more information and permission, please contact Dr. Solorzano, [email protected]. This elective will not be open to MS4 students due to the dates of the trip, which occur after the MS4 spring calendar end date. Third year medical students are eligible to enroll; however, third year students MUST obtain permission from their mentor, study program director, and advisory dean (prior to the trip) to be away for 10 days. ORIENTATION AND SELECTION FOR THIS TRIP TAKES PLACE IN OCTOBER THROUGH A SEPARATE EMAIL REQUEST. For information concerning spring trip dates, please reach out to Dr. Heflin or to Dr. Solorzano. Permission of the instructor is required for the trip. Credit 1. Enrollment up to 15. Mitchell T. Heflin, MD/MHS and Rosa Solorzano, MD/MPH
