Medical Volunteers Needed—Work in Guatemala!

Medical and healthcare projects provide volunteers the opportunity to work in hospitals, clinics, assisted living, and other healthcare facilities. They work alongside doctors, nurses, therapists, and other medical professionals. Depending on your medical experience and Spanish language skills, you’ll have a number of responsibilities including shadowing a doctor or nurse, assisting with general check-ups, running medical campaigns, assisting with vaccinations, assisting with triage, taking blood pressure and other vital signs, organizing patient records, preparing materials and equipment, and assisting during mealtimes. This program is available all year round and new programs begin every Monday. It’s designed to take place for as short as 1 week and up to 1 year. NOTE: This program qualifies for 3-4 university credits via our School of Record. Volunteers must be over 18 years of age or accompanied by a parent or guardian. They need to present background checks and proof of medical insurance. A placement in health projects requires notarized documentation of your medical school, nursing school, or other medical credentials.

Maximo Nivel was an amazing experience ! This was my second time with them. They are an amazing support system the entire time you are traveling. You will have everything you need for a safe trip. My volunteer placement was at an elderly day care where we assessed the residents and kept them company. I would definetely book through Maximo Nivel again.
