During our first exposure, we were brought by the school bus to our assigned community — Barangay Salinding, located in the Municipality of Siay.
In our first week, we conducted a courtesy call with the Barangay Officials and the Mayor, introduced ourselves to the Barangay Health Workers, and met our assigned preceptor, the Municipal Health Officer (MHO) at the Rural Health Unit (RHU) of Siay.
The succeeding weeks, we focused on gathering data, house-to-house, editing our paper, and also help in the Barangay Health Center on their monthly immunizations.
On our last week, we had our initial prioritization with the Barangay Captain.
