Departing DC tomorrow

Tomorrow is Departure Day. My room looks like a typhoon hit and I need to do laundry and a few other things. Bringing us out to DC for staging was perfect, it has been so hot and humid that we have a real taste of what life will be like in Uganda. Yesterday we went to the sim lab at George Washington University and had an amazing introduction to skills that we will be expected to know and have in our respective hospitals and centers. This might seem like a given for many of us but we have been busy with our own specialties and not delivering babies (ever for me) lately for some. The Simulation lab is just incredible and we all gained so much from this experience. We have been led by an incredibly knowledgeable crew that have tried their best to impart a huge amount of knowledge to us in this short time. We had our closing ceremony today and received our white coats and our pins of Peace Corps and Seed. Very impressive and heart warming. We are ready. Picture from Seed Global FB page
