In June 2010, I will be heading off to Ghana to do a medical internship. I'll be working in the Accra hospital shadowing local doctors, and on the weekends doing outreach programs at local orphanages:) I'm very excited and scared at the same time. I'm excited to be in a place and experience a life style very different from the one I am living now! When I return in September I will be doing a public health internship in Washington D.C, so hopefully I will be able to apply the lessons I learned in my undergraduate studies, and the experiences I learned in Africa.

Although I will not be focusing my medical internship on just HIV/AIDS, it will definitely be something I will be encountering everyday. And I will be getting a first hand experience how their public health system is run by seeing how the local citizens get basic medical care.
