I spent my fellowship year in Hinche, Haiti working as a hospitalist in the wards of St Therese Hospital, where I was involved in creating an academic program for local residents and in supporting quality improvement and health systems strengthening projects in partnership with Zanmi Lasante/Partners in Health and the Haitian Ministry of Health.

As a masters student, I was involved in a feasibility study for a randomized controlled trial of a microfinance-based irrigation program’s impact on income, nutrition, and health among HIV-positive farmers in a rural province of Kenya.
