I arrived at the Kijabe hospital campus on a chilly Sunday afternoon. Helen from the housing department came to greet me and showed me to my dormitory, which will be my home over the next three weeks. She gave me a short tour of the hospital and cafeteria, then handed me the keys to my room and wished me luck.

Hello from Kijabe! Week 1 is in the books and we are settling in to our new role here in Kijabe. The night before we started in the hospital, Melissa, Sandy, and I poured through our textbooks, refreshing our brains on the doses and mechanisms of thiopental, pancuronium, halothane, and other drugs we don’t use at home.
