Trip Photos & Recap

Thank you to the Doximity Foundation for supporting our Ohana One trip to Guatemala. We were able to do 60 pediatric urologic and plastic surgery procedures. My anesthesiology colleagues and I were also able to teach senior medical students from Guatemala City who were on their Anesthesiology rotation. We made lasting connections and hope to return next year!
