BCI Hosts USC SOM Summer Internship


These six students, [Back Row, L to R]: Jim Ford, Pete Loper, Jason Rogers [Front Row, L to R] Ashley Smith, Jessica McCutcheon, Lauren Crosby will be joining me in Cochabamba, Bolivia for a summer internship at the Viedma Burn Center during two three-week sessions. These students will spend their time getting a first hand view of the burn center through instruction in the operating room with Dr. Oscar Romero, making rounds alongside the Bolivian residents, working in the physical therapy department and the BCI clinic and in bedside care with the individual patients. This is an opportunity for them to leave the books and formal education of medical school, roll up their sleeves, and find out what really happens in the everyday working of a burn center in a poor country. Stay tuned for regular updates!!
