Below are several journal entries from my clinical externship to Kenya as a student intern. Myself and three of my colleagues spent a month in Kenya, in order to supply medical care to under-serviced communities and tribes in the northern Laikipia region. There we were volunteering with a charitable organization called FIMAfrica (Foundation for Integrated Medicine).
Through FIMAfrica we administered mobile clinics to provide free medical services such as physical exams, medicines, conventional and holistic health care education to the people. The goal of the organization is to provide unprejudiced and sustainable care to poor rural communities in Kenya. Ultimately the hope is to collaborate the skills of students and health practitioners around the world with local health care workers, where there is a transfer of medical knowledge that remains in the hands of these local people.
