hey everyone. im wondering if any of you know or have participated in any good medical volunteer programs ?

I've been looking them up and have found many abroad programs, but not many in the US and Canada which im interested in.
I'm interested in a summer program about 4 weeks long.. Id love to hear stories from you guys who had a great experience

i went on a summer volunteer trip through the international service learning organization. i believe the website is www.islonline.org

it was sweet in that you get to choose where you go, do not have to know the language, and are able to interact with both patients and medical doctors. also if you do a good job, they write a letter of recommendation for you to add to your file. i only went for 2 weeks, but i think i remember seeing 4 week options.
 
thanks. i just looked at the website it looks great!

Hey Usatina8 can you go into a little more detail about your trip? It sounds really interesting. Do they let you go with a parent? Just more info about it would be great.
Thanks!
