Clinicals in Hato Juli

We went to the town of Hato Juli to do our clinicals for two days. Its up in the mountain's and has beautiful views. The clinic is across from the school and has indoor plumbing and a toilet, luxuries in this rural part of the country. The picture above is of me giving a 3 month old a assessment. I learned many things that should come in handy during my peds rotation next semester. We found out that these families need basic things like toys for the children. Toys help with development of fine motor control and critical thinking skills. Our nurse was telling the patients that even a bottle and a bottle cap would be good to help the children's dexterity.
