Megan Rauh, junior on the Auburn equestrian team and an exercise science major, is aiming to become a physician’s assistant, and this past summer chose a life-changing way to earn some of the patient care hours that programs require applicants to have.
In July, Rauh traveled with a team of volunteers and medical staff she found through her church to Haiti, and spent a week providing Haitians with medicine and treatment.
The weeklong trip began with Rauh and the team organizing and packing medicine that would be given to patients. Each package contained a 30-day supply of medication that was intended to fulfill the needs of patients until the next team arrived with more – which in this case for most villages was two months later in September.
