All good things must end...
It's been a while since my last blog post. My international emergency medicine fellowship is, sadly, over. For the layperson not attuned to the lingo of academic medicine, fellowship is an optional position after required medical training finishes. During mine, I got to travel, be a doctor and experience awesome people and cultures, while fully funded. Truthfully, I'm not sure how I managed to convince my bosses to agree to all that in the first place. There’s a slight chance they might be reading this now. So, I’ll hold on further speculation. During the past two years, I was able to advance medical education and emergency medicine in Bolivia, Haiti, Japan, India, Sri Lanka, Nicaragua and of course, Uganda. It was an amazing time of personal learning and volunteering. As a sampling of the projects I’ve been working on… In Bolivia, I got to partner with MELA (Medical Educators for Latin America) and Mano a Mano Bolivia to teach in large group conference settings. Working with Project Medishare in Haiti, our team served in an inner city trauma center to provide direct care. I met some amazing friends and colleagues during that trip. In Japan and Sri Lanka, networking abounded as I met with some brave and inspiring physicians advancing emergency care in developing medical environments. In Nicaragua and India, our team worked with human trafficking victims to provide access to medical care and social support. With Global Emergency Care Collaborative in rural Uganda, I got the privilege to work with some remarkable pioneers and train the next generation of Emergency Care Providers at the bedside. Regardless (irregardless?) of all this, it's over now. It’s hard not to be a little bereft with all the fun coming to an end. Never fear my fractions of dozens of followers! The adventure will continue!! Hellen Keller once said, "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing” - words to which I aspire. Since fellowship, I am currently on my second trip to Uganda for reasons that will be hopefully become abundantly clear in 3-12 months (warning: big reveal at some point). Right now, I am sitting on the porch of my house, yes MY house, surrounded by a gaggle of curious children playing soccer in my front yard. They come over whenever the “mzungu” is out. (Mzungu loosely translated means “white person,” directly translated it means, “one who aimlessly wanders.”) I’ve been lucky to find friends from Uganda, USA, Belgium, Australia and the UK. Yesterday, several of us went dune-buggy-ing in town. You haven’t really seen people unabashedly stare until you’ve been driving through a small African town in an exceedingly loud two seater go-cart, as a woman in pants no less. However, you’ve never really been go-carting until you’ve been on the rocky mountain roads of rural Uganda. For the next week, I get to wake up to a beautiful view from the hillside of Rukungiri town. Then, in less than 2 months, I’ll be back for more. After this adventure is eventually over, I’m not sure where the next one will be. However, I know that I won’t be doing it alone. This is the amazing thing about adventures. At the end of the day, you don’t remember what you did as much as you remember who you did it with. Pictures of scenery and mountains are beautiful, but nothing makes me smile like looking over the ones that have the smiling faces of those I’ve met along the way. To all of those amazing people, thank you and I can’t wait to see you in the next chapter of this adventure that is life!
