This Saturday will be my first day as a 4th year medical student. (Woo-Hoo!) I am starting off my last year of medical school by doing a unique elective in international family medicine. My first 9 days will be spent in the Dominican Republic working in medical outreach for the sugarcane village farmworkers in small towns close to Juan Dolio. The last 3 weeks will be spent working with farmworkers in Randolph and Guilford Counties here in North Carolina. I will be doing medical work with an organization called the North Carolina Farmworkers Outreach. I am very excited about this elective and all that is in store for me this month!
I have entitled this blog "A day in the life." I hope this blog will give you a glimpse of "a day in the life" of farmworkers here and abroad and the barriers that they face. Also, I will share personally the things that I experience during the upcoming month so you can have a view of what "a day in the life" of a 4th year medical student looks like as well.
