Packard researcher’s other classroom in Guatemala
Written by stanfordmedicine on January 11, 2010 – 11:24 pm - |
For some Bay Area doctors, a getaway from the daily grind means a trip to the Napa vineyards or the Tahoe slopes. Paul Wise escapes to a small town in the highlands of southwestern Guatemala to work in a health clinic.
It is a pilgrimage that Wise, MD, MPH, a researcher at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital and the School of Medicine, has made every few months for the past 30 years. In the time he has spent in San Lucas Toliman, he has worked with others to help support the creation of a network of local villagers who receive special training to provide basic health care. And since joining the faculty in 2004 as a professor of pediatrics, he has invited students from the School of Medicine to accompany him on his trips, believing that it offers vital lessons to future physicians, not to mention health care for those who desperately need it.
