Mission Trip
Each year a mission trip is offered that allows hands-on clinical experience with patients. Doctors will come along side students to offer patient care to people in need. These people would otherwise have never been able to afford healthcare. You might be the only “doctor” that cares for these people. It is a great way to learn about another culture and practice medical Spanish. All religious backgrounds are welcome to come.
