This program offers students a unique opportunity to explore different areas of medicine and public health. Through hands-on initiatives with medical professionals in vision screening, physical therapy and dental health education, you will not only gain insight into the medical field but also develop an understanding of the importance of public health education and management.
Beyond the health-focused learning, you’ll also experience Costa Rican culture and have unforgettable adventures along the way. Dance your heart out and try your hand at local cuisine during lively, locally-led lessons. Immerse yourself in history during a city tour, conquer a volcano hike, catch a wave in a surf lesson and explore the wonders of a biodiverse national park.

This GLA program was such a life changing experience for me. During the trip I not only learned about different cultures, but I meet so many awesome new people. The other students I meet on this trip, I still talk to often. This trip allowed me to take into consideration what future careers I may be interested in. The staff were amazing and made the experience so much better. I would recommend this trip to everyone.
