Dr. Kristen Breslin has travelled to Haiti several times through a partnership between George Washington University’s International Medical Office and Project Medishare. A team of providers and students organized by GWU travels to the central plateau region in Haiti annually, setting up mobile clinics in the most rural areas which receive hardly any medical care. The trip provides medical students the opportunity to experience a low-resource health system, and volunteer physicians to deliver clinical care. Dr. Breslin served as the pediatrician on the mission. The group travelled to four different villages over the course of a week, providing mostly primary care and treating acute problems. Following her first trip and interested in what the Haitian health care system had to offer, Dr. Breslin returned to Haiti, this time to Hopital Sacre Coeur in Milot. She went with a surgical team, providing additional clinical support both inpatient and outpatient for the increased volume of patients receiving operations.
