There are a lot of differences between Kearney, Nebraska, and Cusco, Peru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The languages, landscape, housing and transportation are among the most obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s definitely a lot different than how we live here,\u201d said Allyson Korus, a second-year nursing student at the UNMC College of Nursing-Kearney Division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Korus grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska, and attended the University of Nebraska at Kearney before starting nursing school. She and 24 others \u2013 including 19 total students from UNK and UNMC \u2013 made the more than 4,000-mile trip to South America earlier this summer to experience the culture and provide medical services for local residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey have hospitals and clinics just like we do, but it\u2019s a lot harder to get quick and efficient access to care,\u201d Korus said. \u201cThere are longer wait times for procedures, and many people can\u2019t afford the treatments they need.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a population around 430,000, Cusco is one of the largest cities in Peru. It\u2019s located in the Andes mountain range \u2013 at roughly 11,000 feet of elevation \u2013 and once served as the capital of the Inca Empire. Today, the city is known for its archaeological remains and Spanish colonial architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Korus and her team of future health care professionals traveled there in July as part of a medical outreach trip organized through the UNK chapter of VAW Global Health Alliances, an organization that brings medical, dental and veterinary care, health education and nutritional security to underserved communities around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current and former Lopers and Labs spent two weeks in Cusco, working alongside local doctors and pharmacists at mobile medical clinics that provided free care and medication to people living in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the altitude and a diet that\u2019s lower in protein, many children there are anemic, Korus noted, and intestinal parasites are another significant public health concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur doctors prescribed a lot of iron supplements, as well as medication for parasites,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among adults, respiratory issues, arthritis and cataracts are common ailments.<\/p>\n\n\n

The student interns helped treat patients of all ages while gaining valuable hands-on experience. Their tasks included patient intake, checking vital signs, logging public health data and assisting with exams at a total of six clinics \u2013 three in Cusco and three in smaller, rural communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 1,000 people came to the clinics, including two days when the group partnered with Ohio State University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou could tell they were very grateful for the care we were providing and they were all so kind and talkative,\u201d said Korus, who even learned a little Quechua, an indigenous language that\u2019s still common in southern Peru. \u201cThey were so proud of their culture, and they wanted to share that with us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the trip cost her about $2,000 plus airfare, Korus believes the impact was well worth the expense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe money that we\u2019re paying allows these people to have entirely free health care and medication,\u201d she said. \u201cI think it\u2019s really meaningful knowing that we\u2019re providing this service to people who normally can\u2019t access it or who may have a hard time paying for the treatment they need.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Korus was part of last year\u2019s VAW trip to Bocas del Toro, Panama, and she served as team leader this time around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For UNK junior Elly Piper, it was an entirely new experience. She had never traveled outside the U.S. prior to the medical outreach program in Peru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a definite culture shock, because everything was in a different language,\u201d she said. \u201cI took Spanish in high school and studied before we left, but you don\u2019t realize how much it surrounds you until you\u2019re completely immersed in it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pre-medical student from Norfolk, Piper also recognized the limited access to health care there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI definitely gained a greater appreciation for the health care system that we have here in the U.S.,\u201d she said. \u201cBut at the end of the day, our goal there was the same \u2013 to help patients as best as you can. That was very inspiring to see. No matter where you practice, the end goal is always the same.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

In addition to the medical clinics, the UNK and UNMC team hosted an education day at a rural school where they taught students yoga, played soccer, watched an Independence Day (Fiestas Patrias) play and handed out gift bags donated by CHI Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also had time to explore the city, visit historical churches and cathedrals and check out cultural sites, such as Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCollege is a good time to go see the world before you start your life,\u201d Korus said. \u201cThis is an opportunity to learn about health care from a global perspective and get hands-on experience while also trying new things and stepping out of your comfort zone a little bit. It\u2019s such a valuable experience that you may never get to have again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Korus graduates from UNMC next spring, so this is likely her final VAW trip. Piper would like to go again, especially since her roommate is trying to form a UNK dental team, and her cousin recently enrolled in the pre-dentistry program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would love to have her go on the trip,\u201d Piper said. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely an opportunity more people should consider. It really opens your eyes and gives you a deeper appreciation for what we have here.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
