Brigades for January 2010
We completed two one week brigades in January. The first brigade, a vision clinic, from January 4th to 9th was led by Joseph Miller, MD an ophthal-mologist from the University of Arizona. He was joined by two ophthalmology residents, Leslie Garay, MD, and Carmen Felix Tacononte, MD. They were assisted by Laura Miller. Over the course of the week they saw 225 patients, many having unusual conditions, especially useful for ophthalmology training. During the second brigade of January Mindy Fain, MD led the general medicine brigade to Punta Ocote Jan 25-29th. She was assisted by Ana Sanguineti, MD a current fellow at the University of Arizona, and Alejandro Sanguineti, MD, a pediatrician from Tucson, AZ who conducted a children's clinic.
