"My trip to Belize" by Stephen Badke, D.O. student

by

Some of the unique opportunities available at Des Moines University are international rotations and medical mission trips.

In July 2007, I traveled to the Stann Creek District of Belize, Central America as part of a group of 21 students and clinicians. The trip served as an excellent opportunity to provide remote underserved populations with medical healthcare and education.

Our trip goals were to:
— Expose fist and second year medical students to rural clinical experiences
— Enhance understanding of cultural, economical, and social influences of healthcare
— Provide medical care to the people of Belize
— Instill a passion for international medicine and global health
