Himalayan Health Exchange: April 2015

Earlier this month, I was fortunate enough to take a little time off and travel to the Himalayas. Here are just a few pictures from the trip...
Our Home Away From Home
Performing Extractions at a Local Classroom 
Outdoor Clinic Set Up 
Challenging Treatment Conditions (i.e. Heavy Rain and Cold Weather)
The Amazing Dental Team
(Dr. Doug, Me, Dr. Madalyn, Harish - Our Translator)

Some of My Favorite Kids :)
Future Doctors
The Himalayas
I was able to push myself to provide treatment for patients in some of the most challenging conditions I have experienced. I met some of the smartest, most talented, and caring doctors (and soon-to-be doctors) on this trip and was so thrilled to get to know all these amazing individuals. This truly was a life changing adventure and I hope to have the opportunity to return to this special place. My thoughts and prayers go out to families and those effected by the earthquake. 

Namaste,
Dr. Lynda Tran
