As a physician, you are a key part of the medical team!  Patients will wait in line for hours, sometimes days to see you. For many patients you will be able to offer them something that will help them feel better medically.....for some you won't.  However, every patient will have the chance to feel cared for and loved when you spend time listening to them and helping them in any way you can.

   There are many things you may be doing as a physician on a medical team.  With the help of a translator you will be seeing patients of all ages with a variety of medical problems.  When advantageous you  will be able to perform minor procedures (I &D's etc).  You may also be involved in triaging patients and helping nurses when they have questions.
