Medicine in Peru with Projects Abroad

I signed up for the medical internship but was blindly placed in midwifery. additionally, i was promised at least 15 hours of community service, yet only participated in maybe 5 hours and that is me being generous. additionally, i asked to shadow surgeries or to be placed in a different clinic a few times and each time, i was told someone would follow up but i had to be the one who was persistent in order to get an answer. i paid so much money to come out to peru, only to learn that my money is worth so much more than what i got out here so i feel as though i wasted a bunch of money and time because even that amount of money was not worth just sitting in a clinic for hours on end. i understand that in a hospital or clinical setting, there is not always action, but you cannot tell me that in the entire month of July, the only surgeries available for me to see took place the final week i was here. i spent most of my “shadowing” hours sitting in a break room because there were no patients.
