Summer 2026 Participant
Every aspect of this journey, from the hospital experience to the cultural immersion and the chance to explore new opportunities, has been extraordinary. This program truly was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the dedication of those who organized it made every moment meaningful. I would relive it all in a heartbeat. Not only has it strengthened my passion and excitement for a future in healthcare, but it has also deepened my love for travel and my curiosity about different cultures. I am deeply grateful for this unforgettable experience.

Summer 2026 Participant
I learned that it is best to find one or two people the first day in a department that want to help you and are okay with explaining things in English. I found that all the people there are really busy so making a connection early is important to being in the know.

Summer 2026 Participant
The way the patients and family members treated us was the most rewarding part. They assumed we were medical students or doctors who were dedicating our lives to helping people like them in the future, which is somewhat true. The very first day at the hospital a few ladies sitting near us heard us speaking english, saw our lab coats, and just said "thank you" and smiled as they were leaving. They probably assumed we were already doctors coming to help out at their hospital but the intent was still there and made me excited for actually helping people like them in the future.
