Austin Isaac

Alpharetta, GA | Neuroscience, Spanish | 2016

Austin Isaac graduated from Vanderbilt in December 2016 and is planning to attend medical school in the fall. In his gap semester, he is addressing the lack of neurology care in Northern Honduras by collecting relevant data from patient charts in the region’s hospitals and clinics and writing a grant to fund diagnostic equipment for a new neurology department at Hospital de Occidente in Santa Rosa de Copán. In Guatemala, he is serving as a health education volunteer through Primeros Pasos, a children’s clinic that is the sole healthcare provider for the twelve rural communities surrounding the city of Quetzaltenango. Austin is excited to finally combine his degrees in Neuroscience and Spanish to achieve his mission of providing healthcare to medically underserved communities in Latin America.
