Seventh Colloquium to Free the Five and End Terrorism

So, I´m here at my first colloquium to free the five and end US terrorism against the world, and so far it has been an AMAZING experience. I feel inspired and motivated by the stories of organizations all around the world in support of the liberation of these men who in Cuba are national heroes. Its amazing how many people outside of the US are aware and ready and willing to support efforts to bring justice to these men after our injustice system has held them for over 13 years. If you´d like more information on the case, please visit http://www.freethefive.org/

Back in Havana, medical school is going great. I love love love 3rd year. I get to work with patients 6 days a week. I´m studying for boards, which is also fun and challenging. I´m getting to know Havana a little more than I was able to my first 2 and a half years, because now I´m right in the city, and continuing to grow and develop as a person which is always great.

I finally have my email address for my school email, so please email me if you get the itch to do so! The address is nimekadupree@fallende.sld.cu

Highland Hospital....The Bomb!

Hey Everyone!
So if you talked to me last year, you'd think I'd have stayed in Cuba this summer, but luckily for me I got a job! I am working at Highland Hospital, the county hospital for Alameda county located in Oakland. I'm doing an outpatient observership in various specialty clinics in the Alameda County Medical Center network and it's really been amazing! I'm learning lots about how medicine aimed at the underserved is practiced in the US and preparing myself for my board exams to come. I'm also meeting lots of new doctors, students and health care professionals who will are excited about helping us come back to the US to fulfill our dreams of being great doctors and giving back to our communities.

Please get in touch with me if you're interested in hanging out! I'll be around until the end of August folks!
