Cameras for Their Medical Work

The second Sunday evening the students were at the KLC they were given new digital cameras for their medical work.  Some of them have never had a camera like this, so they were very excited to receive them. 

The cameras were a gift from New Hope Christian Church in Virginia. The congregation there was happy to have some tangible way to express their support of this ministry and to let the students know they are important to us all.

The idea behind the cameras is for the students to be able to keep a visual log of every medical case that they see when they get home.  Their photos will be used by the teachers in the 2nd and 3rd years of training as they discuss the symptoms observed as a class and then work through the diagnosis and treatment of each case together.

The cameras are very small but have a lot of capability to take sharp images for the whole class to see at one time.  There is an easy macro setting which allows high resolution photos to be taken from only a couple of inches away.  The SD cards are large enough to hold hundreds of photographs.

Hopefully, they will all return next year with SD cards full of pictures that will prove useful to their training.
