VCOM 2019 Annual Report

“ I am so grateful for everything that I experienced over the last week. I’m especially grateful for the people: my empathetic and intelligent classmates, the

helpful preceptors, the selfless and hilarious nurses, the kindhearted translators, the resilient and compassionate patients and the International Outreach staff! I learned so much about medicine that I would never have studied in a textbook; the hands-on experience has improved my clinical confidence, which is significant for me. I hope I never forget anything from this trip as it was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life so far. Thank you to everyone involved in such an amazing opportunity! I thank all those who made this trip and trips like these possible. I thank my preceptors for such a welcoming learning environment, and most of all I thank the El Salvadorian people who entrusted me with their health care and gave me so much more in return. ” Emma Griffith VCOM-Carolinas Class of 2021, Jan. 2019
