Going to Cameroon!

Hi Everyone!

In just a few days I will be leaving the comfort of NYC for a medical rotation in Cameroon, and wanted to start this blog to document what it is like to work as a physician there.

I am going to the Mbingo Baptist Hospital in Bamenda (Northwest Province) and will be there for a month. Fortunately for me, English is the primary language of the region. I will fly into Douala (the largest city in the country - larger than the capital, Yaounde which is in the Central Province) and then take a 5 hour bumpy car ride to the hospital. While at the hospital I will have both clinical and teaching responsibilities, though never having practiced medicine in a foreign country I am not sure what to expect!

Please check back for posts!
