By December of this year we hope to do a physical exam on all the school children in our catchment area. We estimate that this will be about 3,000 kids. Most of this work will be done by our medical and nursing students. This will give the students plenty of practice and it will give us a way to screen for treatable health problems. So far we have completed over 1,000 and have found the major problem of dental disease. Other problems are being referred as appropriate.
Checking visual acuity in schools.
Checking for cavities.

What a great, practical idea. I had no idea Dan had these dental skills. The Thibaults continue to heal and amaze.
