HEODRA stands for the “Hospital Escuela Oscar Danilo Rosales Argüello,” the main teaching hospital associated with UNAN. Our tour of HEODRA was led by Karen, a Nicaraguan intern who had done two rotations in the U.S. at UMass. We saw virtually every floor and unit, including pathology, in the busy, cavernous hospital, and spent most of our time shadowing an orthopedist. We watched as he changed dressings, examined wounds, and took down casts and splints. Conveniently, each patient has their X-rays at their bedside, allowing us to analyze a great deal of imaging in a relatively short time. Later that day, after our final Spanish class, we said good-bye to our Spanish teachers.
