Major: Kinesiology - Health Sciences concentration
Major: Ecology & Evolutionary Biology
As a Loewenstern fellow, Ellie Dullea, a junior at Brown College double majoring in kinesiology and ecology and evolutionary biology, was stationed in the Philippines in a small Rural Health Clinic in the town of Alcantara. While on the island, Ellie worked beside the town doctor, a team of nurses and midwives, and a group of volunteer Barangay health workers in order to deliver medical care and implement public health programs within the community. Ellie's favorite part of the experience were the connections she made with her host family and co-workers at the clinic.
"One of the most exciting parts of this experience was seeing how the public health programs I had learned about in my health science classes at Rice were implemented in the real world. I really do feel that my major in Kinesiology gave me the educational background necessary to get the most out of my time in the Philippines," said Ellie.
