December 29, 2018by: Ainslee Rubino - United StatesProgram: New Doctor and Resident Electives & Internships AbroadMy time in Africa was a life-altering experience that I'm grateful to have had. From the moment that I got off the plane until the day I left, the people we're always welcoming, kind and willing to help. I made friendships and built relationships to last a lifetime. It was incredible getting to work at the second largest hospital in Kenya as well as experience the local culture through activities such as camel riding, feeding giraffes, jet skiing on the Indian Ocean and eating at local restaurants! I was so grateful and thankful to work with the amazing staff at the hospital who really took me under their wing and allowed to rotate in various departments. You will get to experience a wide variety of medical conditions and attain hands-on experience unlike anything else. I had so many wonderful experiences that is hard for me to summarize. I look forward to the day that I can give back. <3
