Dr. Jeremy Kern is a co-leader of the George Washington University School of Medicine – Project Medishare in Haiti following seven years of involvement with the organization. The project is located in central Haiti and is focused on providing primary care and improving medical access through mobile clinics that decrease patient travel time from potentially days to at most a 2-3 hour walk. Dr. Kern estimates the clinics see about 300-400 pediatric patients over the course of four days. On the fifth day, the team does home visits, both providing care to patients who are not ambulatory and educating western providers on environmental determinants of health for the local population. Each trip, the team takes about 15 GWU students from the school of medicine, nursing, and public health, as well as some additional GWU faculty members.
