Anand Habib, class of 2011, traveled with a group of Stanford medical students and fellow undergraduate interns providing health care services to 15 rural communities around the city of San Lucas Tomilan, Guatemala. Paul Wise, a CISAC affiliated faculty member and professor of child health and society, has led the annual trip for over 30 years and this was the first time undergraduates have accompanied him. The interns also worked closely with Dr. Kate Leonard, a pediatrician at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital and Palo Alto Medical Foundation, to develop an instrument to survey indigenous women, lay midwives and local health promoters about their perceptions and attitudes toward prenatal care and related services.

Habib, a biology major, will be a student in CISAC's undergraduate honors program this fall researching his project, Human Security and Health: Health Workers as Peacemakers.
