Stevenson Nursing Student Joined Medical Mission Trip to Dominican Republic
Junior Stevenson Nursing student Moriah Sauls spent her Spring Break providing medical care in the Dominican Republic as part of the Salud Primero Reading-Samana Medical Mission Trip.
鈥淧articipating in a medical mission in an underdeveloped area like Samana was truly inspiring,鈥� said Moriah. 鈥淧roviding healthcare services and patient education to communities lacking access to basic medical care was the driving force behind my decision to join this mission. Being able to contribute to educating individuals on diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and basic infections, and witnessing the potential impact it has on their lives, was immensely rewarding.鈥�
As part of the trip, Moriah traveled to different parts of the country and helped the team provide the communities of La Pascuala, Las Terrenas, Sanchez, and Samana with vital healthcare services.
鈥淲orking alongside a dedicated medical team, including family medicine doctors, a pediatrician, and University of Maryland dental residents, I was able to gain valuable learning opportunities,鈥� said Moriah. 鈥淚 gained a deeper understanding of the holistic approach to healthcare and the importance of personalized patient care. From conducting basic assessments and vital signs to administering medications, I could apply the knowledge and skills acquired during my studies at 天娱传媒. The seamless integration of theory into practice was truly fulfilling and has undoubtedly enriched my journey as a nursing student.鈥�
