Just wanted to know if anyone had any experience with ORBIS. How things worked, schedule, things to bring, things to avoid, etc. Basically any pearls from those that have actually done it, heard about it or are interested in doing it.

Thanks in advance.

For those not familiar with ORBIS, I have attached a link below:

Have seen some video from an ORBIS member and it looks awesome. Are you volunteering in a general capacity? To be a medical volunteer, you have to be board certified and have at least four years post-graduate (residency/fellowship) experience plus have a couple ORBIS members vouch for you. Depending on what you want to do, there are other international opportunities with less rigorous requirements (they will all have booths at Academy).
