Costa Rica: Healthcare Education & Medical Outreach

Expand your knowledge and experience in the field of medicine in the beautiful Latin American countryside. Work alongside medical professionals in a community where your assistance is truly appreciated. Earn up to 30 hours of community service while building your skills in clinical settings.

For this program, TFT partners with a non-profit organization dedicated to improving families' health in the developing world through innovative and self-sustainable health improvement programs. We will work side-by-side with medical professionals to help provide access to medical care for underprivileged and medically underserved families in Costa Rica.

Some hands-on projects available may include collecting vitals, assisting with mobile clinics, and organizing health education meetings. To complement our hard work, we will also experience the adventurous and culturally relevant aspects of Costa Rica that make it one of the most coveted destinations in Central America to visit. Zipline through lush rainforests, visit an animal rehabilitation center specializing in herpetology, view a green volcanic lake, hike to waterfalls, and take a surf lesson!
