I Love CFHI!!!

My experience with CHI was nothing short of amazing!
During my clinicals settings, the medical officers were very welcoming and engaging in conversations. They all were more than happy to help me understand medical issues and expose me to different cases I may not have been exposed to back home. My favorite part of clinicals was attending surgeries every Wednesday. This experience was amazing because I was able to witness all the moving parts that play a role in surgeries and it was also my first time watching surgeries be performed on children as young as 2 months old! I also really enjoyed the Outpatient Department and being able to see all the new cases and clinics each week. This was super interesting and engaging because there was something new that I could learn every day from asthma clinic, neuro clinic, and just regular OPD. I developed cultural competency during my time here which will really help me with my career in the future when dealing with diverse populations. Finally, outside of clinicals, I was able to have the independence to explore the city and learn more about myself. I felt extremely safe in Accra and being able to go out and explore during my free time allowed me to learn many things about myself and pushed me out of my comfort zone. The local team was extremely accommodating and very nice! They always were available if I needed anything or had any questions.
This experience really changed my life for the better and I am so happy I meet so many great people and I plan to continue to build on the friendships I have made. CFHI is the absolute best and I HIGHLY recommend this program!
