WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
Brandon was initially sponsored in 2016. He has now begun his ophthalmology rotation! Here he is getting to know the equipment.

Here is Dr. Kimberly crossing a river to get to patients in a rural community! This photo inspires us every day to do more work and sponsor more young women like her to make a positive change.

Hot off the press! Here are Dr. Kimberly and Dr. Bryan practicing their echocardiogram skills for a research study.

Have you heard of ‘Project ECHO’? Since COVID-19 began, the doctors and students of DFD have been meeting monthly on an ECHO call to discuss complicated medical cases. In this past session, Dr. Kimberly shared her case on GI obstruction.

Here is Dr. Kimberly, a DFD alumnus, teaching young women in a rural community about their bodies and the importance of preventative healthcare. Go Kimberly Go!

Meet DFD’s next student Jimena. She’s not going on vacation, she’s heading off to start a new year of Med School! Congrats Jimena!!

Even during their time off, our medical students are working to provide healthcare to rural communities. Here is Brandon taking blood pressure at a rural diabetes clinic. Great work Brandon!
