This winter, MEDLIFE:UConn will be traveling to Riobamba, Ecuador from January 4, 2020 to January 12, 2020 for a medical volunteer trip! We are currently recruiting volunteers to travel with us and set up mobile medical clinics in the developing communities outside of Riobamba. While we are at the clinics, you will have the opportunity to:
- Shadow and assist physicians and dentists
- Triage patients
- Teach children how to brush their teeth
- Educate community members on common health disorders
- Help the pharmacist dispense medications
Additionally, one day of the week will be spent on a developmental infrastructure project in the community. At the end of the week, you will also have the opportunity to hike up Chimborazo, an inactive volcano in the area!
If you are interested in attending, you may apply for our trip here. Applications close October 1st, but the sooner you apply, the better! We hope to see you apply!
