Reviews
The Medicine & Community Service Program in Sri Lanka was an incredible experience. I loved working alongside local doctors and learning about traditional and modern medical practices.
This program provided me with invaluable medical experience, from shadowing doctors to participating in health outreach.
Volunteering in Sri Lanka was one of the most rewarding experiences. I got to help with real-world health challenges while immersing myself in the country's culture. The workshops and community work were eye-opening!
This program was life-changing! It gave me a deeper understanding of medicine in a global context while making a tangible difference in local communities. I’ll never forget the people I met and the places I visited in Sri Lanka.
