We are into our last week in Rwanda and I'm starting to feel sad. The time has been wonderful but it's gone much too quickly. There have certainly been moments of frustration and disappointment but they are far outweighed by successes. It was a pleasure to teach the Respiratory block with Christian. He taught some of the morning sessions and ran a number of simulations. This afternoon we had the final quiz – it was all short answers and proved to be difficult. Christian was with me to give individual feedback to each resident. This was so helpful as he was able to make some points in Kinyarwanda and to share his experiences with the residents on the exam process and importance of studying hard. In short, the experience with Christian was a great example of the co-teaching we would like to do more of with our Rwandan colleagues.
Michelle is on fire. She is now shifting her attention from the simulation centre (already thriving) to the operating room nurses. She met a very committed OR nurse today (Australian) who plans to spend a few years in Rwanda helping to build the program for OR nurse. I think Michelle just found the right partner.
