INSPIRATION FOR RESEARCH PROJECTS CAN COME FROM ANYWHERE. For Heidi Siu and Frankie Burg-Feret, professors in Humber’s Nursing program in the Faculty of Health Sciences & Wellness (FHSW), inspiration for a research project came from a medical service trip to Guatemala. In 2020, Heidi and Frankie took a group of Humber’s finalyear nursing students to Guatemala during the reading week to conduct health assessments for people living in under-resourced communities. It was Humber FHSW’s sixth medical mission trip to Guatemala and one that sparked the inspiration for their research project, “Partnering for health access: Developing an innovative health clinic.”
