To celebrate the end James Logan's first semester and the end of finals, I decided to attend an open mic — an everybody's-welcome performance of spoken word, poetry, and maybe a guitar serenade — at Paddy's Coffee House, just next to the Alvarado Park.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Seven months ago, University of Miami medical student Elizabeth Greig helped create a plan to get doctors to Haiti in the event of a natural disaster.
She never imagined it being put to use so quickly.

Greig, 31, a fourth-year medical student, is now the site director at the busy UM field hospital in Port-au-Prince. She coordinates efforts to transfer critical patients out of the country and works with nonprofit agencies to bring supplies in.

She is the only medical student working there.
