I learned more in my 3 months in Botswana than I ever could have imagined and I know that it not only made me a better clinician but also a better person. I look forward to using all of the knowledge I gained in Botswana in my practice back home and I could not recommend this experience more for clinicians all over the world.

This is something that is so much greater than myself. There was a need, and it is being filled. Big things are happening in this country and this is just the beginning!

The World Spine Care experience has made me more grateful for what I have and has made me humbler about innate privileges and possibilities. I’ve become a better listener and better at giving sharp explanations.

My World Spine Care experience opened my eyes to the importance of cultural sensitivity and the importance of musculoskeletal health in developing countries.
