Inpatient/Outpatient Clinic
Staffed year-round by a fellow, attendings, residents and student interns, the Clinic provides medical care and education. Within the Clinic, physicians have broadened the original scope by participating in ward rounds with local physicians and examining newborn infants. An educational program has been supported by sponsoring a weekly case-based educational conference. Logistic support has been accomplished by providing necessary equipment associated with teaching visits by US specialists in emergency medicine, neonatology, pediatric and trauma surgery. More intensive training conferences in trauma care and ultrasound diagnosis, attended by health care personnel from the entire region, have been part of this effort.
