Hey everyone!
I am leaving this Saturday for Ghana!
This will be my first month of 2 being away for rural rotations. I decided to take this time and go somewhere else other than Montreal. Once I get back from Ghana, I will be leaving 2 days later to spend one month in Mistissini, Qc....this is way up north and I will be working with the Cree population in a small town of 3000 people.
I have decided to do my family medicine rural rotation in Nalerigu, Ghana. I will be there for one month working at the Baptist Medical Centre along with two other students from my class, Patrick and Eric.

I am very excited and kind of scared as well because I don't know what to expect! I am sure however that this will be an unforgettable learning experience!!
I have still not packed because I have a surgery exam tomorrow that I am studying for but I am used to pushing everything to the last minute...so hopefully I will be packed in time and ready to leave on Saturday!!
I will keep this short now but I just wanted to get a blog started because I figured it would be a cool way to keep my family, friends and anyone interested in being updated with what's going on while I am away.
So follow my blog!
I will be sharing all my experiences with you guys whenever I get a chance to get a hold of a computer.
Evie...I am missing you already.
Im a little disapointed you didnt write that ull miss me 2 but whatever! Hehe
