Comparative Program

Chelcy and Molly, two pre-med students who just finished the Nicaragua portion of the Comparative Healthcare Program, ended their work at a rural health clinic by having a two day women's health brigade. After spending a month working in the clinic and talking with women about women's health issues including cervical cancer, they held a two day women's health fair. During the event, they gave over 30 pap smear exams to women from rural areas with limited access to health services. For women who rarely are able to see a doctor, making the exams available was such an important service.

In addition, the interns helped build a house, organized a pregancy club, and attended to patients daily both in the clinic and out and the field. Thanks Molly and Chelcy for all of your hard work!
