This morning, we met the staff. In addition, a local nurse, Morena works with the FIMRC clinic. She is also part of the ministry of health for that area of San Salvador. She does home visits throughout the community and focuses especially on pregnant women and ensuring children are up to date with their vaccinations. Today, she took us to several homes in the community and let us practice our interviewing skills as well as vaccination administration.
We had a lecture from the local physician, Eduardo, about common diagnoses and treatment. We are excited to work with him and seeing patients. Over the course of the next 4 weeks, we will be seeing lots of children, dispensing medication, and offering basic health education. This will be an amazing 4 weeks!
