“As a 3rd year resident, I was able to travel to Guatemala with several other residents and a faculty member. It was an amazing experience. We set up a clinic at a school and were able to see over 500 people. We had no labs and limited supply of medications. It really reminded me of the importance of a thorough history and exam and encouraged me to think critically about how to help my patients without any resources. It is a skill that I use every day in my current practice working with low resources and uninsured patients. It was truly and life-changing experience.” Joy Ferro, DO 2023 Graduate
