Education: Medical School in Huehuetenango

The new medical school in Huehuetenango, Universidad Mariano Galvez de Guatemala, is less than two years old. Dr. Carlos Salorzano, an ophthalmologist in the area, invited our Dr. Canady to give a guest presentation at the medical school. Dr. John Canady is a professor at the University of Iowa College of Medicine in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and is highly respected in his field. He is one of the “founders” of Iowa MOST and is the Medical Team Leader of our group.

Dr. Canady was honored by the invitation to speak at the medical school. He feels that Dra Annette Morales De Fortin, Dean of the College of Medical Science and Health, is a future-thinking dean. Dr. Canady was pleased to start to develop a relationship between the medical school and the MOST mission and looks forward to positive possibilities that may come from this connection.

Congratulations to Dr. John.
