Journey

This week I had a meeting with the classmates I will be working and living with in Cambodia. It still doesn't seem quite real that I will be leaving three weeks from today. Three weeks.... So much still needs to happen in my life before then. We also received our contract from Mother's Heart, the organization we will be working for, which outlines our responsibilities and their expectations of the work we will be doing. All of which I am very excited about. We will be performing a needs assessment in an area the organization would like to expand its services to. This area houses several factories and beer gardens where many women and girls work. These are the women we will be interviewing and conducting surveys with.

In the coming three weeks I will be:

  • completing my last clinical rotation
  • traveling back to California for callback week on campus
  • taking my last end of rotation exam
  • completing an OSCE (objective structured clinical examination)
  • giving a case presentation to my class
  • completing and turning in my CV for review
  • finishing all my travel vaccines
  • packing for summer in Cambodia
  • leaving for Cambodia!
