Apply medical theories you have learned in school and gain hands-on experience by volunteering at a clinic or hospital in Peru. This program, offered by Vive Peru, involves collaborating and working alongside local medical staff, helping you learn first-hand about local healthcare systems.

You will have the chance to work closely with the community during medical campaigns, wherein you assist local doctors with the care of patients. You will also support health education campaigns addressing crucial public health issues such as nutrition and hygiene.

Throughout the period, you will work in a group of one to five under the supervision of experts. You will participate in activities including patient visits and checkups, vaccinations at a local school, dental hygiene education for children, and assistance with medical procedures, among others. Your clinical experience will be supplemented with participation in a medical Spanish course and the application of intensive medical skills. You will learn to take medical histories and other vital information about patients.
