Volunteer for your Medical Elective in Nepal

The medical elective program in Nepal hosted by IVHQ is a really enriching experience where I learned a lot about the local medical operation system, specifically how doctors work with patients in ER. It also provided me the chance to meet people in the industry, ultimately strengthening my determination to study medicine. Also, I have met so many new friends from all over the world, and the host was super nice to us.

A huge thank you to my IVHQ Program Manager for helping me throughout the preparation process. The Local Team there was so amazing! My homestay family was the best ever. The family was extremely sweet and welcoming. Most importantly I made connections with amazing Nepalese people. They are very kind and super giving even with the little resources they have available. I was able to see how hospitals and medical staff work with very limited supplies and try their best to give the best care they can to their patients. I left feeling extremely grateful for what I have in the U.S and I left feeling more confident in my career path to become a doctor.

It was such an amazing experience to be immersed in the culture and also work and shadow the medical field in such a beautiful country! I learned so much and am so thankful for this opportunity. I made several connections with the Nepali people and doctors and will be returning on my own terms with them. Thank you, IVHQ, for introducing me and helping me have a smooth and amazing time! I look forward to completing more medical mission trips.
