Hello! My name is Hunter Gillaspie and I'm a sophomore pre-Nursing student at the University of Iowa, and I'm currently studying abroad in Trivandrum, India! I'm taking a course entitled Pain, Palliative Medicine, and Hospice Care, and, along with 12 other health science students, will be working with an organization known as Pallium India in order to learn about palliative care and healthcare in India. We will take part in an orientation program regarding the definition of palliative care, the challenges it faces from misconceptions in the medical community and governmental regulation, and the general principles that we will need to keep in mind during our home visits and clinical rotations that we will be taking part in during our 3 weeks in Trivandrum. I will be keeping a detailed record of my experiences in this blog for all to appreciate and learn from, so I hope you enjoy! Thanks for reading!
