Medical Service Learning in Nicaragua
Get hands-on experience in your pre-health field and help communities across Nicaragua get medical care.
JETS! (Joining in Education Through Service) will again travel immediately after graduation in June. During the two weeks in Nicaragua, students will assist medical personnel at free health clinics. The group will work with the NGO Praxis, whose main purpose is to offer healthcare students and professionals a truly international experience that will expand their understanding of medicine and life outside of the United States. Praxis is prepared to set up temporary medical clinics to diagnose and provide medicines for basic, non-chronic illnesses. They refer patients to hospitals when a patient's condition is beyond the scope of what can be provided on-site. Students will be accompanied by Dr. Dara Wegman-Geedey, Department of Biology.
APPLICATIONS FOR ALL 2012-2013 WILL REMAIN OPEN UNTIL January of 2013.
