HVO LAUNCHES NEW PEDIATRICS PROJECT IN CAMBODIA
Project: PEDIATRICS |
[ January 27, 2016] - Health Volunteers Overseas is pleased to announce the launch of a new pediatrics project in Siem Reap, Cambodia. HVO volunteers will contribute to improving and maintaining the quality of inpatient and outpatient pediatric care at Angkor Hospital for Children (AHC), working to improve AHC's pediatric residency training program and to broaden professional perspectives and development opportunities for AHC's senior staff.
HVO volunteers will provide classroom-based, departmental, and hands-on clinical teaching as well as teach ward rounds to pediatric residents in the inpatient and outpatient departments at AHC and the satellite clinic in Sotnikom, a small town 35 kilometers away from AHC. Volunteers will also provide clinical pediatric sub-specialty training for junior and senior doctors at AHC. Pediatric radiologist volunteers will contribute to the AHC radiology curriculum and participate in remote consultations with the department as necessary. HVO volunteers will contribute to the professional development of senior AHC staff by modeling teaching, management and leadership skills.
