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.
