Program Overview

Ready to elevate your medical school application with a world-class adventure? Our Peru Pre-Med Program is the perfect way to stand out. Based in the ancient Incan capital of Cusco, you’ll join a group of like-minded students to gain guaranteed clinical exposure and community service hours. This program is specifically designed to help you demonstrate the AAMC core competencies while immersing yourself in the vibrant culture of the Andes.

You’ll gain 40+ guaranteed physician shadowing hours, observing surgeries, patient consultations, and diagnostics in busy health centers. To broaden your expertise, you’ll attend hands-on workshops on suturing, dissections, and neuroanatomy, and even learn to master triage and first aid. You’ll also complete 15+ hours of community service, setting up mobile clinics in remote areas to treat local health concerns.

You’ll study medical Spanish, sample flavors at San Pedro Market, and learn to dance Salsa. The highlight is a breathtaking weekend trip through the Sacred Valley to watch the sunrise at Machu Picchu. With 24/7 support and a curated itinerary, you’ll build the confidence and diverse perspective needed for your medical career.
