Tanzania tangent

A trip to her native Tanzania to shadow doctors and nurses produced lifelong memories for Wright State University pre-med student Aliane Kubwimana. She observed surgeries, dealt with a blackout in the maternity ward and spent Christmas Eve at an orphanage. Kubwimana said the two-week experience as part of the Gap Medics medical shadowing program exceeded all expectations and cemented her desire to pursue a career in health care. “I definitely want to be a doctor,” she said. “I love helping people. And just seeing all the people there — they really need the help.”
