Jeremie is a first-year Mayo Clinic medical student, originally from the North Shore of O'ahu, Hawai'i. Having lived in Brazil for over two years prior to beginning medical school, he has gained a great interest in incorporating substantial humanitarian work in his future surgical practice. He plans to pursue either Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Neurologic Surgery or Plastic Reconstructive Surgery. His favorite extracurricular activities include sky-diving, long-distance running, and swimming in the Pacific Ocean.
One such opportunity was presented to me the same week of my acceptance phone call earlier this spring: a fully-funded trip to a previously unattended region of Nicaragua with a volunteer medical brigade. It was led by physicians from my institution looking to recruit our entering first-year medical school class to help lead the trip.
