Students Reflect on Learning Experiences in Kenya
IU House in Eldoret was busy this spring and early summer with many visiting students, residents, staff members and guests from the AMPATH Consortium of academic health centers from around the world.
Maliha Khan, M.D., M.P.H., arrived in Kenya to complete a final global health rotation before graduating from The University of Texas at Austin. For Khan, this passion for medicine runs in the family. Her father was a pediatrician in North Carolina where she grew up, giving her a front-row seat to his practice.
Read about Dr. Khan’s rotation on the Texas Global website.
Marissa Vander Missen is a rising second-year medical student at Indiana University (IU) School of Medicine. She is one of three Slemenda Scholars spending the summer in Eldoret, Kenya. The group visited some of the community programs initiated by the AMPATH partnership which Vander Missen said “left me inspired to seek out ways to integrate healthcare interventions with existing community support structures in Eldoret and back home in the US.”
