Hello to all team members COPI
I am excited and grateful to be included as a team member on the up coming mission to Vietnam 3/2013.
My name is Dr Elizabeth Lawrance I go by Liza to friends and family.
I am a female trauma surgeon. In addition, I have a masters in public health and tropical medicine. I trained in New Orleans at Tulane. I am a California native who recently moved back home to California after working and training in Louisiana and Texas for over 15 years.
I have been overseas on medical missions in the past. 1991 to Hangzhou China. In 1999, I went Korle Bu hospital in Accra, Ghana, to complete my masters work in Public health tropical medicine. I have a dual MD/ MPH degree.
I am a army reservist who has been deployed to Iraq twice and Afghanistan twice.
I am familiar with the medical struggles and challenges particular to women and children of a developing countries.
Last year, I watched your work on television via a documentary on a public network.
I was fascinated with the mission and hoped to join one day....so here I am, finally taking the time off from a busy schedule to be a part of something that I have always believed important and necessary.....supporting women and children in developing nations.
Thank you for allowing me to participate. I look forward to meeting all of you.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Lawrance
