• International Service Learning (ISL) :
  • International Service Learning (ISL) is the perfect opportunity for pre-health students to travel to underdeveloped countries and serve the communities that need the most medical help. While this program does not offer the emergency, life or death situations you may think, it provides its students with an experience of practicing grass-roots medicine at its finest. No experience is necessary to apply. The only pre-requisite is that students have a drive to make the world a better place. Several trips to Tanzania, Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, and Nicaragua are available year round, during winter, spring, and summer break.
