I am currently a nursing student at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University! We were given the opportunity to travel abroad and gain medical experience through a volunteer program. In May I will be traveling to Guatemala to gain nursing experience through the organization VIDA Volunteer! Looking for some extra assistance to help me get there!
A bit about my trip:
The Medical Program allows pre-health students to gain hands-on, culturally, and clinically immersive training. We are provided the opportunity to work side by side with local physicians in diagnosing, treating, and educating patients.
This program will allow me to observe diverse cases; from diseases that specifically manifest in Central American communities, to general conditions that occur worldwide. Most importantly, the medical program improves students’ cross-cultural communication skills and fosters respect for others of different backgrounds.
