Making More News

The project continues slowly but surely, even if our updates do not. The LATE students we worked with are currently doing the post-implementation workup to check on the efficacy of the training program we designed and participated in. The Ministery of Public Health for Ecuador is also planning to spread the training beyond the 350 emergency employees from Cuenca into the surrounding pueblos sometime in September. It has been an honor to work with such dedicated and passionate people! As more numbers and information flow in, we will be sure to let you know more results. For now we are in the write-up stage of the project and trying to survive the dog days of medical school.
