As part of the fellowship, I completed the Gorgas Diploma Course in Clinical Tropical Medicine in Lima, Peru, earning the Diploma of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. I鈥檝e provided medical care in low resource settings at Tenwek and Kijabe Hospitals in Kenya with World Medical Mission, as well as in Jordan, El Salvador, Peru, Ecuador, and Gambia.
