    Participants will have the chance to gain direct patient care experience by triaging in Spanish (no prior language skills required), take care of patients during in-house visits, shadow clinical procedures at maternity/air force/children's hospitals, support mobile health clinics serving families in the rural community of La Piedra, and more! 

    This program is open to students of all backgrounds who are passionate about healthcare, service, and cultural exchange.
