Beyond Clinical Practice
Global Health & Community Outreach
Language, collaboration, and access to care across communities.
A Longstanding Interest
Learning Across Borders
Dr. Zorn's interest in global health and medical Spanish began before her surgical training. In 2010, between her junior and senior years of college, she traveled to Chile to study medical Spanish.
During medical school, she continued exploring these interests through an educational experience in El Salvador, where she shadowed surgeons and midwives and completed an intensive Spanish language course.
These experiences helped shape her interest in communicating across languages and cultures and understanding how healthcare is delivered in different settings.
Surgical Outreach
Guatemala 2026
Dr. Zorn participated in her first international surgical mission in Guatemala in 2026, where she created and revised dialysis access at a local hospital.
The experience built on her longstanding interest in global health and provided an opportunity to collaborate with local healthcare professionals and fellow volunteers.
