International medical work

[goldenstandard2]

I'm considering doing international volunteer work after I graduate, preferably related to medicine and/or public health. Does anyone have any suggestions about organizations to look at (and to stay away from) or stories of personal experiences over seas? I am trying to make my experience as worthwhile as possible.
