I chose to do a mission trip this summer to learn about medicine and its practice in underserved areas of the world. The hospital in Bengaluru, India gives me an opportunity to be immersed in this environment. The poverty I saw on a trip to India over a decade ago is embedded in my heart, and this trip will show me ways I can be a part of the solution.
