One Year. One Physical Therapist in Trujillo, Peru.

Combining passions of global public health with travel and cultural immersion... With the help of the Catholic Medical Mission Board, I was afforded the opportunity to live outside of Trujillo, Peru for one year's time (2010-2011). Check out old posts about my experiences as a PT working in hospitals, a school, an outpatient clinic, doing research/community based rehabilitation, and a little teaching too. And my experiences with an entire calendar year of holidays, cultural customs and new culinary experiences!

I make it back about once a year with university students/CMMB projects, so I will periodically provide updates :)

A Cultural Tidbit

                                        The neighborhood Catholic Church 
 
Peruana Cosita Importante #5: At a Catholic mass here, you only take communion if you’ve committed a really big sin in the previous week. (Let’s just say I learned this the hard way, and of course my host family got a big kick out of it!!)

Enough said…
