| LIfebox Ceremony |
This last week has been a
flurry of activity. Highlights included
academic day, Joint journal club between the surgery residents and the
anesthesia residents, a visit to Kigali Health Institute to meet the new director
of anesthesia services, a trip to Rwanagana to take a look at the conference
center as a possible site for the SAFE obstetric anesthesia course in January,
a trip to the ministry of health to obtain a letter of support for the safe
course, arrival of the Lifeboxes, organizing and hosting a Lifebox donation
ceremony, and of course, our daily clinical activities. I didn’t have much time to blog all of my
activities. It is hard to believe that
the month has come to an end and I am headed back to Atlanta to my life at
Egleston. Much has been accomplished
this month but most of all I have made new friends and developed new
relationships that I look forward to cultivating in the future. For as many of my tasks and goals I have
checked off my list, I have many more added.
Despite the amazing curriculum that has been developed by CASIEF and the
hard work by all of the Rwandan anesthesia residents, anesthesiologists, and
the CASIEF volunteers, there is still much work to be done. I keep reminding myself that it is the small
steps that make the difference over time.
