Pediatric attendings and third-year pediatric residents who are fluent in Spanish spend 4 weeks or longer at the Clinic. They share their pediatric expertise with their Honduran counterparts and get to hone their clinical skills and learn about tropical medicine. Visiting physicians also participate in ward rounds with local physicians and help Dra. Cerritos examine newborn infants. Over the past several years, American specialists in emergency medicine, neonatology, pediatric and trauma surgery have visited the hospital on a short-term basis to deliver intensive training conferences to the island medical community.
