GLOBAL HEALTH ELECTIVE
Guatemala
Dr. Brenda Brischetto on one of the trips to Guatemala. She is our residency’s OB curricular lead. She works tirelessly to expand our linkage with local doctors in Portland and here she is working internationally to help improve OB outcomes. On these trips, we
learn much from each other. Here the Comadronas and Brenda are sharing tips to reduce postpartum hemorrhage and improve maternal outcomes.
Residents often join for this short international Global Health experience. Providence has been going to the same sites in Guatemala for over a decade and the long term relationships strengthen the cross cultural learning.
