Your Support Makes our Work Possible
In March 2009, MSMI will travel to San Pedro Sula, Honduras for one week to explore first-hand the factors that influence the quality and delivery of healthcare in a developing country. Medical students and physicians will work alongside Honduran physicians at a local hospital, exchanging ideas as international colleagues. Students will assist in a variety of surgical procedures, and physicians will bring their expertise and perspective in a collaborative effort to provide excellent patient care.
MSMI strives to integrate educational experiences for medical students with service to international health needs. To make this trip a success, we need your help. The expected cost of our upcoming trip to Honduras is approximately $10,000. This sum includes curriculum materials, the cost of room and board (*although participants pay for airfare out-of-pocket), in-country transportation, medical supplies, and other logistical expenses. We realize that these are tough economic times, but for this reason we are even more dependent on your help. Important resources like medicines and surgical supplies previously donated to our group have been significantly cut this year due to the difficult economic climate.
We hope that you will help us provide valuable experiences to medical students and assistance to communities worldwide.
All donations are tax deductable. If you are donating by PayPal and would like it to be tax deductable, send an email to
Amelia.Clark@mssm.edu indicating that you would like us to mail you the necessary tax information.
