VCOM Auburn Yearbook 2019

“ My pursuit of a degree in medicine has always been fueled by the capability of doing good, and this outreach trip really made this vision attainable. The physicians

from the Dominican were bright, informative, and always provided the opportunity for us to practice our newly acquired knowledge. Furthermore, our preceptors guided us through the process of being physicians for a week with great care, dedication and especially patience. More importantly, the patients were extraordinary. They always greeted us with smiles despite their ailment and were always grateful no matter the reason for their visit. Overall, this trip was a humbling, gratifying and amazing experience, and if asked again, I would do it 10 times over. ” Iliet Payan VCOM-Auburn Class of 2021, July 2018
