Stepping outside the classroom and volunteering abroad
MCPHS offers international programs that are designed to give students a professional and cultural experience.
Students participate in a cross cultural learning experience as they travel to Cusco and Arequipa, Peru. They volunteer alongside Universidad Católica de Santa María students in community health centers and schools, visit hospitals, shadow health care professionals and explore cultural sites including Machu
Picchu and Colca Canyon. Students are given the opportunity to reflect on the similarities and differences in medical facilities and delivery of care between the U.S. and Peru.
Students also have the opportunity to gain volunteer experience in Agadir, Morocco, which focuses on healthcare access, delivery and education. Students volunteer in an urban hospital, rural health clinics and participate in school and village projects. Students expand their own global perspective, make connections across cultures, and prepare for their future careers as health care providers.
This blog currently features my community service experience in Peru and Morocco
