Summer International Health Fellowship
SIHF Fellow Reflections
SIHF enrollment is filling quickly! We had two SIHF Fellows revisit their experiences, and you can read both of them here! Allison traveled to
Project Bududa in Uganda while Jesus spent his Fellowship at
Project Huancayo in Peru. Anyone searching for a summer experience that will provide medical and cultural opportunities to grow should apply soon!

TLC: Treatment + Love = Cured!
Project Alajuelita, Costa Rica
Although our clinics provide primary care to our patients, special circumstances call for special treatment. Rigo suffered severe burns after an electrical
fire, and only received treatment from the hospital for 15 days. Once released, the FIMRC team pulled up their sleeves to ensure that Rigo kept receiving proper treatment to be able to heal properly!
