Best of luck/continuing education

I have been fortunate to have "Doc" as an interpreter for the last several months. He is a graduate of an Afghan medical school but knew enough English and Dari to serve as a interpreter. 'Terps are paid better than docs for the most part so it was a good match and obviously very helpful in my conversations with the local doctors. He had the best facility with translating medical terms and served as my go-to guy when giving lectures. He translated the PowerPoints, handouts and our presentations during the lectures. We now have a small library of Dari presentations that are shared with other hospitals across the country. His mom is having health problems, so he has resigned to stay with her. He hopes to stay in touch. Good luck! The picture is Doc with my roomie, Don, and me.
The US docs have been giving lectures regularly and we have encouraged the ANA staff to respond in kind. So, they have given good lectures on the endemic problems like TB, typhoid and malaria. Shown is a lecture given by their nurse leadership on basic issues in injury management. They enthusiastically embrace the training since their backgrounds range from 1 month to 7 years of medical training. Whenever we must delay a lecture, they insist it be the next available day, rather than wait a week and have 1 less lecture. Yesterday, I even observed a basic literacy class that was just started for the housekeepers! No doubt in my mind that education is critcal to success (all that college tuition....), so I exulted to see the hospital doing these on their own initiative. Zowie!
