Mariana Shtukina went on a medical brigade with the MedLife organization. She signed up
mid February, and only then realized that ‘05 grad Thomas Flint is an intern for the organization in Riobamba, Ecuador. In March they met for the first time in 5 years and spent 5 days traveling to different villages in the Cebadas region of Ecuador providing medical care to people who do not have the means to travel to their closest hospital for treatment. Thomas has been interning since last September, and in May Mariana received a competitive internship grant to work alongside Thomas in Lima, Peru this summer for MedLife. They will be there for two months while they organize clinical brigades in rural villages, shadow Peruvian doctors, conduct health research in the area, start a sustainable health education program in conjunction with their MedLife services, and teach English.
