Hey everyone! I’m back and for the last time unfortunately. We just finished our presentations (thank goodness). I was really nervous during mine but I think it went okay. Everyone else did amazing on theirs! I am so proud of everyone. We also did a little Webinar session with some incoming Pitt students who want…

Hey again everyone! Today was full of activity! To start things off, I got up at 6:45 again. I had some eggs, cheese, and yogurt (as always). The coffee hurt my stomach initially but then I felt better once we got to Swiss Medical. Anyway, as I said, we first paid another visit to Swiss…

Hey guys! I’m back with another report of the day! I got up today around 6:45 to shower and eat breakfast. We left around 8:00 to head to Austral University and Hospital. It was about an hour long ride, plus we bumped into some traffic. When we arrived, we visited the hospital first and received…

Hey again guys! This was my favorite day so far and I’m so excited to tell you about it. It all started with breakfast yet again. I had eggs, yogurt, and cheese slices with some coffee. We had a later start time too, so I slept in an extra hour. Our bus ride was over…

How’s it going everyone? Just wanted to check back in with another little report. Today we visited Tigre and took a boat over to a primary health care facility! It was great because I had never seen something like it in this context. The place was very small but was equipped with an extensive amount…

Hey everyone! Today we had the opportunity to visit a former Provincial Minister of Health, Dr. Josefina Medrano. Her lecture was incredibly interesting, especially because of the fact that she had to endure so much criticism through her tenure as a minister. This was because she had been working as the Provincial Minister of Salta…

Hey again! Our day started with a lecture from the Deputy Minister of Health. It was a great chance for my group and I to get as much information as possible, since the Ministry of Health is the topic of our project. He discussed the challenges that the Ministry faces while also adding how the…

Hey again everyone! Today, we had the opportunity to hear from Dr. Gabriel Novick of Swiss Medical. As Dr. Novick described the framework and moving parts of Swiss Medical along with the private healthcare sector, he mentioned the metaphor of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. His point through this analogy was to emphasize the fact that the…

Hey everyone! I’m super happy to report that we’ve landed safely here in Buenos Aires! The flight felt super long and unfortunately I could not sleep at all. I don’t feel very tired or anything like that today, which is very random and surprising. My first impressions of Buenos Aires consisted of general surprise and…
