Today begins our second journey with high hopes, aspirations and goals!
Our hope is to grow as clinicians and human-beings through participation in an enriching and fulfilling selfless experience.
Our aspirations are to return as more compassionate, intelligent and empathetic than yesterday.
Our goals are to provide the best possible pharmacy/medical services to the patients who otherwise would go without.
The overwhelming interest to participate in this mission from Temple's Pharmacy students was touching. It is an example of the level of community health service commitment that Temple School of Pharmacy prides itself on.
I wish to sincerely thank each student who offered to volunteer their time, money and emotions. Although logistically, it was improbable to accept all the outstanding volunteers, know that I hold you in high regards.
This personally and academically enriching experience could not be possible without the generous support of Dean Peter Doukas, Faculty, the APPE/IPPE office and staff. Our gratitude extends to Bac Si Ha, Van Bui and the Mercer University administration.
It is my intent to document our international health efforts, both educationally, clinically, and personally through this forum.
Many thanks to all who visit this site!
