Medical Students
OSAPO’s efforts toward education have extended well beyond its own community. In the past ten years, hundreds of American and Canadian students, including students originating in other countries ranging from a multitude of different undergraduate and graduate programs at medical schools, have benefited from visits to OSAPO in ten day increments. These students who stay at the OSAPO complex, are immersed in the Haitian culture, and given a chance to learn not only about clinical medicine, but also about global social medicine and community health first hand. From setting up and experiencing mobile clinics in outer reaches of the mountains with interpreters and a various number of doctors accompany them also for a clear understanding of what patient’s infirmities and symptoms may be. These students are able to work alongside the wonderful people of Haiti.
OSAPO is dedicated to teaching and helping medical students from around the world. Please contact us to learn how you can get involved in a truly rewarding and educational experience through OSAPO.
