Mark just called me on his cell from Houston! They are doing well, had an uneventful trip so far, and were sitting down to dinner together during their layover! Just a few more hours!
International medicine has been a desire of mine since college, however things never seemed to come together for me to go. Now, a plane ticket to Honduras has my name on it for April 12th, less than a month away. I will be joining a group of medical students, resident physicians, and faculty physicians from family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics. It is with a renewed excitement that I try to picture practicing medicine in a radically different setting.

The lingo is "NGO", a non-governmental agency. The reality is a group in the US and Honduras that believes that a long term relationship between communities can impact health and education by addressing the needs that the Hondurans identify. Check it out! www.shouldertoshoulder.org
