Clinic and Leaving Mastatal

Over the past two days, Aerie students assessed, triaged and handed-off care of over 40 people from Mastatal and the nearby indigenous community of Zapaton.  This is always an amazing experience.  The clinic is made possible by the arrival of Aerie instructors Dr. Greg Moore and Fred Westering, PA.  Students watch as these experienced care providers assess and treat their patients, and then have the unique opportunity to receive individual feedback on their assessments and patient reports (see second photo).   

Tomorrow, we leave Mastatal after a month of living in this incredible community.  We are heading to the Rafiki Lodge on the Rio Savegre.  Over  five days we will complete our Swiftwater Rescue Technician training with Cody Harris from the Whitewater Rescue Institute.  Cody is a world-class instructor; we are very fortunate to have him with us.
