Hello everyone!
My name is Meredith DeCoy and I am a fourth year medical student at Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. I am sharing this blog while me and Lindsey Matthews are abroad on a rural Himalayan rotation in Dehradun, India for medical school through the organization, Child Family Health International. Both me and Lindsey are excited to learn more about global health and experience other cultures as future physicians. We specifically chose to go to Dehradun to better understand the culture and medicine within their vastly diverse population of patients, while enjoying the beautiful scenery of being in the foothills of the Himalayan mountains. In addition to spending 2 weeks in Dehradun, we will also be traveling to Mussoorie for 1 week and the village of Patti for 1 week. We hope to add as many photos and posts throughout our trip. I’m excited to share my experiences and things i learn in the blog. Lindsey will also be posting in the blog, so between both of us we hope to share 2 blog posts a week!
