At Tenwek there is no shortage of referrals, complications
and diagnostic challenges! So the educational
experience for visiting staff as well as the permanent staff is amazing! A difference is that now there are
educational tools that connect this place with the world! What is the same is the dedicated teachers
who mentor, encourage and organize the clinical challenges!
On February 3, 2014 there will be a “White Coat Ceremony*”
for the entering new interns and residents.
It is a dedication that involves families and friends. It is also a time of recommitment of the
teacher clinicians. I will send pictures
of this celebration!
What is amazing is the growth of the teacher
clinicians. This now includes more
Kenyans with increasing relationships to the medical school in Eldoret that is
about 2 hours from here. The
educational growth and mission of this hospital continues to provide care to
this community and Kenya! As one patient
told me this morning when a complication occurred at a small facility, “I was
told to just go to Tenwek!”
