There I volunteered alongside the Guatemalan and American medical staff. During this time, I was scrubbing in to assist in cataract surgeries, preparing patients for surgery, translating, etc. I also got the opportunity to assist in the dental clinics. Serving with the talented doctors, nurses, and assistants was truly inspiring, and I am truly grateful for their wisdom and patience throughout the week. It was an amazing and humbling experience being able to go and serve through Health Talents International. Participating in a different healthcare system than the United States was valuable and eye-opening. On our last day, we also got to visit beautiful Antigua to see volcanoes and the local marketplace. It was also nice talking to local Guatemalans about the area and the history of the town. Overall, I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to be poured into by outstanding people all over the world through Health Talents International. I also want to thank the Honors College, our trip sponsors, Health Talents International, and everyone who prayed for us on this trip. Without everyone, this life-changing experience would not have been possible!&#8221; &#8211; Juan Mendoza, Honors College Student, and Honors Travel Grant recipient.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With help from the Honors College and many other people, I was able to participate in a surgical medical mission trip this spring break at Clinica Ezell in Guatemala.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18033,"featured_media":6286,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"1080","footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[22860,215516],"class_list":["post-6282","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-acu-honors","tag-global-healthcare"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
