About Elizabeth's elective
In July, 2010, Elizabeth spent one month working with Mayan Medical Aid, an organization that provides primary health care and works to reduce child and maternal mortality in the Atitlan area of Guatemala. Elizabeth鈥檚 application demonstrated a heightened sense of the social and cultural aspects of health and health care delivery and a thoughtful reflection on the lessons that she learned and how her experience contributed to her personal and professional development.
