February 18, post 2














After days of no posts, we're now putting up two in one day! Of the hundreds of images gathered over the past week, here are some highlights of our experiences with actual and simulated patient care. In the top three photos, our intrepid students practice improvising litters and caring for a head injury (simulated blood only!)
The next photograph shows our end-of-clinic table top debrief. For the table top, students present the details of patients they saw during the clinic to staff, including our visiting physician, Dr. Greg Moore. Students were evaluated on their presentations and asked follow up questions by staff and their colleagues. Finally, Dr. Moore elaborated on the patients' histories and gave reasons for his diagnoses. In the final photos, students, instructors, translators, and Dr. Moore all take patient histories, vital signs, and record their findings while visiting patients in their own homes. A good week!
