6 Week Hospital Internship in Buenos Aires

I interned int he morning, shadowing physicians as they did their daily rounds/patient intake. The variety of people that you come into contact with is what makes BA so special for an internship. Road2Argentina helped make those connections possible. There are several diseases endemic to only South America (such as Chagas), and I wouldn't have been able to have contact with this at home.

My experiences in BA only reinforce my thinking that no matter where you are, people are people. You get the good and the bad everywhere. Luckily, the large majority of the people I had relationships with in Argentina were positive, kind, and willing to help me.

Getting to know my host family and the families of their children was the best part of this experience. I really couldn't have been placed in a better home. Road2Argentina was really great about making sure my time in Buenos Aires was positive, safe, and fulfilling.
