MEDLIFE has been the most career-defining experience for me as a nurse... It has shaped my global health work and opened many opportunities.

Providing Quality Care to Low-Income Communities
Our Service Learning Trips travel to low-income communities to provide quality healthcare to people who would otherwise struggle to access it. They offer general medicine, dental, and pharmacy services as well as preventative tests such as Pap Smears and breast cancer screenings.
Working On-Site with Local Professionals
MEDLIFE’s in-country medical professionals speak the local language, understand local systems, and provide culturally sensitive care to their patients.
Providing Follow-Up Care
Any patient who may have a serious or long-term condition is immediately placed in our patient follow-up program. Our local nurses are dedicated to supporting patients every step of the way throughout the course of the treatment.
Global Education Through Service Learning
On Service Learning Trips, volunteers learn about foreign cultures and customs through first-hand experience, reflections, and workshops. By spending time with patients, community members, and medical professionals as well as attending reflective and educational meetings, they are educated on global issues.
