Monica vaccinates against polio

Your experience begins a few days before departing the US on the campus of one of our top universities.  During your pre-departure workshop, you'll learn to facilitate several screening measurements (height, weight, temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, etc), to conduct post-care consultations (patient advocacy and health education), complete some introductory cultural and language training and learn critical skills for helping university faculty and graduate students conduct their research.





Then, you'll spend a bit less than four weeks in a developing nation, interacting with a host family and working in a health clinic or hospital.  You'll continue your studies with a faculty member and attend language training.  You'll be dedicated to screening patients, shadowing a physician or nurse, being a patient advocate, vaccinating, helping our faculty or their graduate students conduct research or performing other volunteer tasks.
