On Wednesday, June 8, General Pediatrics faculty members Morissa Ladinsky and Jaime McKinney with Pediatric residents Danielle Franklin, Christen Roth (2nd years), Karlene Walker and Jamie Powell (interns) traveled to Livingston, AL, to teach 50 regional high school students attending the West Alabama Health Education Center’s Summer Enrichment program aka Never Ending Road to Discovery or N.E.R.D. Camp. These students were attending a week long career exploration program for teens with a genuine interest in health professions. Most all hail from disadvantaged or rural backgrounds and the majority will be first in their family to attend college. Following the session, the doctors visited Anderson Family Practice, one of a few primary care centers serving the western section of the Black Belt region. While the teens learned a great deal from our group and saw first hand that yes, their potential is real, our residents left with inspiration derived from being a true role model and with insights into health disparities that will guide and inspire them to better the health for the children of Alabama and beyond.
