BelizeLastJanuary,sixteenstudentsandonealum-nusparticipatedintheCollege’sfirstmedicalmissiontoBelize.“Therewasnoexpectationofgettinganysortofcredit,justlifeexperienceandadesiretohelpothers,”explainsKevinHickey,Ph.D.,associateprofessorintheDepartmentofHumanitiesandCommunication,whoaccompaniedthestudentsonthetrip.

ThemissionoriginatedfromadesirebystudentsRebeccaNashettandKatelynRochestertoorganizeamedicalorientedtriptoBelizeonbehalfoftheCollege.ThroughtheassistanceofProWorld,anorganizationthathelpscoordinatesuchtrips,thestudentswereplacedinvillagesandclinicsthroughoutthecountry.

Eachdaythestudentswouldsee60ormorepatientsin“popup”clinicsorgodoor-to-doorintolocalcommunitieswithtranslatorstoofferhealthscreenings.Atypicalscreen-ingwouldincludebloodpressure,weightcheck,bloodsamples,vitals,andpatientcounseling.IftherewasacasetooinvolvedorcomplexfortheteamofpharmacystudentsandBelizeannurse,avanwaswait-ingnearbytotransportthepatientstoalocalhospital.
