One of the truly incredible things about our scholars is that they\u2019re able to get out into the world to experience the joy of helping others while positively contributing to the field of Global Health. Emily Robinson (UW Doctorate of Nursing Practice student), and Kate Pfizenmaier (UW Master of Public Administration student) have been doing just that in Gondar, Ethiopia. They are our 2014 SCOPE fellows, and have been in Gondar for 3 months.<\/p>\n
SCOPE (Strengthening Core Opportunities Through Partnership in Ethiopia) helps link medical and religious communities in order to better prevent HIV infection and deliver comprehensive care to those in need, particularly pregnant women and new mothers and babies.<\/p>\n
“One of the most important things I will take away from this experience is the importance of listening,\u201d says Emily, \u201cnot just with my ears, but also with my heart. I have so much to learn from those I have been privileged enough to partner with here in Ethiopia. Inspiring people with inspirational stories will follow me home and will undoubtedly inform the way I practice as a healthcare provider in the future.”<\/p>\n
Emily\u2019s experience with SCOPE has inspired a fantastic personal blog called \u2018Spilling Emily\u2019<\/span> <\/a>where she shares her experiences and those inspirational stories of the women and children for whom she has come to care a great deal.
