Patient care - licensed physicians and residents (under physician supervision) will attend to patients at community clinics, working closely with Haitian physicians.
Medical education - a team of physicians will provide continuing education for family and general practice physicians serving in the country.
Service - Non-medical delegation members will participate in projects to improve school and clinic facilities and deliver essential supplies to children in need.
"There is a staggering need for medical care in Haiti," says Dr. Mary Jo Welker, president of the AAFP Foundation.

This delegation's work will have a huge impact on the people of Haiti."
