Dr. Sneider participated on a surgical mission trip to Limbe, Haiti during her  fourth year of surgical residency in 2012. She spent a week in Haiti at the Hospital Bon Samaritan, evaluating patients for surgery and performing those surgeries ranging from inguinal hernia repair and breast surgery to major abdominal operations including an appendectomy for a pediatric patient with perforated appendicitis. During her final year of residency, she was chosen by her peers and faculty surgeons to be Chief Resident from 2012-2013.
