Spend two weeks exploring Peru, helping those in need, gaining practical healthcare experience, and expanding your wordly perspective. Through this fully immersive service program in the heart of the Incan Empire, participants will be able to gain experience in public and private hospitals, elderly care facilities, adolescent rehabilitation services, rural clinics or through a health education campaign in rural Andean communities. This unique international opportunity in a developing area allows students to gain more hands-on experience than would otherwise be possible in more developed countries while understanding a different health care system first-hand.

Students and professionals of Nursing, Health, Biology, Pre-Health, Pre-Med, Medical and other health-related specialties are encouraged to consider this program to provide much-needed health care to communities.  Many Andean communities, due to the lack of transportation and social program infrastructure, very rarely receive proper medical attention.  Collaboration with local healthcare professionals on projects including health education, research and health outreach provides an exceptional intercultural and informational exchange.
