All,
I'm looking for a prosthestist/orthotist to go with our team to Haiti in April of 2003. We're in Bakersfield, and it would be best if they were local, but we would be open to taking someone who'd be interested in going from outside the Bakersfield area. It's a 10 day trip with a lot of fun and work to be had and done. Last year we built over 15 prosthetic devices in the week we were there. Most of the people we fitted ended up walking within an hour or picking up small objects within the hour. It's a fantastic environment and the opportunity of a lifetime. Let me know if you'd like to join our team.
We also ahve other teams going down (8 teams between January and April!). If you'd rather join one of those teams, let me know. They're going from Boston, Ottowa, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Miami, Salt Lake City, and of course, our team from Bakersfield.
If you're not interested in going but know someone who is, please pass this information on to them.
We're also looking for the following for our April trip: a doctor (orthopod, orthopedic surgeon, physiatrist would be best, although anybody with physical rehab experience would be great!) a nurse, and one more PT.
Thanks in advance for reading this!
