The team performs three categories of healthcare in the undeveloped communities: dental, medical and veterinary. Our teams hold free clinics in underserved communities for 8 hours or more a day for two weeks.
In addition to their clinical days, they also get a handful recreational days where they get to go ziplining, rafting, exploring cities and more! This opportunity has not only assisted past students applying to a professional program by getting their clinical hours, but as well as made them stand out in interviews for their cultural diversity and experience.
