Nursing Faculty & Students Deliver Healthcare in Belize
In Dec. ’24, a group of Tech nursing students, led by Professors Melissa Geist and
Jennifer Mabry, participated in a mission trip to Belize, Central America. The students
gained hands-on experience while serving underserved communities.
During the visit, students completed clinical rotations at a small remote hospital, assisting with patient care and learning to adapt to limited resources. They also worked in local polyclinics, providing essential healthcare services to residents and learning about community-based care.
“This trip combined cultural immersion with professional growth, fostering empathy and clinical competency,” related Geist.
Additionally, the students conducted annual physical assessments for children at a nearby orphanage, ensuring the kids received necessary health evaluations and more.
