Pair headed to Honduras to hone medical skills

weeks-lim
Weeks and Lim
GREENVILLE, N.C. (5/12/08 ) -- When their classmates eagerly opened envelopes a few weeks ago to find out where they would be going for their medical residencies, Heang Lim and Jessica Weeks opened envelopes and read the simple words, "Have a nice day!"

That's because the pair of medical graduates will be headed not into traditional residency programs but to Honduras to hone their medical skills providing care for people in the impoverished nation.

They leave May 31 for Honduras. They will return to the United States in mid-August to renew their visas, then return to Honduras until Nov. 13, when their rotation ends.

After that, they will interview for residency positions in the United States, and possibly return to Honduras next year.
