Today is a holiday, so we do not go to the hospitals today. My housemates and I are planning on going to Lake Titicaca this weekend.

Week One -- Hospital Los Andes
This week I am assigned to Hospital Los Andes. I am observing the medical director who is a doctor at this hospital. It is a public hospital in El Alto, which is just outside La Paz. The doctor has been teaching me how to do baby and child wellness checks and sick checks. The children that are sick mainly have coughs/colds since it is winter here. This week has been great because I've been paired with a physician's assistant to work with the doctor and she is also teaching me a lot.
