As first year medical students at PCOM, we are offered many amazing service opportunities. However, few compare to the idea of spending a month in Ecuador, where we work in various medical clinics, learn the Spanish language, and have an authentic cultural experience by living with an Ecuadorian family. There are 8 of us heading to Ecuador this summer - the first 3 in June, and the other 5 in July.
As we made our last minute preparations for the trip, the suggestion was made that we find a way to keep in touch with each other and our family and friends while we are actually in Ecuador. Creating a blog seemed like the easiest way to keep in touch with the largest group of people.
We plan to use the blog as a live journal to keep everyone updated on the amazing experiences we are having, the struggles we are facing, and how the trip is helping us to grow to be stronger physicians in the future. Keep your eyes open for posts in the near future - group 1 will be arriving in Guayaquil in 2 short days!
