Education Outreach and Student Training

Priyanka and I spent a lot of time preparing the presentation (on STDs) that was requested by the Nyanza Secondary School. Conducted the talk to a small group (they will then talk to their peers) in the new IHP Birthing Center. We covered all the big ones plus HIV. Kids very interested in HIV history and new research, so we discussed role of male circumcision and PrEP. Seemed to mostly go over their heads but if even one person picked up the main ideas, it was worth it Pictures forthcoming...

After we conducted training, we received some. Jackie, a visiting nurse at the clinic did a session on scrubbing-in and surgical prep. Dr. Charles Powell (neonatologist) gave us a talk on neonatal resuscitation. "Airway-airway-airway... breathing-breathing-breathing." Very good talk, I learned a lot in spite of being a lawyer.
