Volunteer experience overseas
1Howard University, Orthopaedic Surgery, Providence Hospital, Washington, DC, USA.
Abstract:
Volunteer experience gained in separate 1-month rotations in three African countries is outlined. Each rotation was unique yet each shared much in common. The latter two rotations were sponsored by Orthopaedics Overseas and as such were more structured than the Liberia experience. Various patients were seen including those with congenital, tumor, traumatic, and developmental conditions. The opportunity to have a cultural exchange at the patient and peer level and to provide a needed service made volunteering a professionally rewarding experience.
