Are you a Med or Pre-Med Student? Your skills are desperately needed in South Africa!

Most of the medical projects that we support are government-funded local clinical facilities for people who cannot afford private medical care, and are severely understaffed and underfunded, with a lack of vital resources. Therefore, volunteers must be aware that this can be a very stressful and challenging environment to work in, though, as it is very community-based, this is also a very rewarding project to be a part of, and is set in amazing Cape Town, in the shadow of the majestic Table Mountain. 

This program is open to pre-med and med students and qualified medical practitioners and is a great learning opportunity, but all volunteers must keep in mind that the level of involvement and direct patient care is dependent on your training and particular skills. Initially, you will be observing while working alongside and assisting local staff. As you build rapport and they get a feel for where you're at, they will give you more responsibility/tasks.
