MEDLIFE > I’m an Educator

What do University of Texas, Northwestern University, Temple University, and University of Michigan all have in common? They all leverage problem-based learning for their students while making a difference in the fight for medicine, education, and development worldwide. And they did it through MEDLIFE.

What is MEDLIFE?

MEDLIFE is a US-based non-profit organization that has been partnering with low-income communities in Peru, Ecuador, and Tanzania for 15 years to provide medicine, education, and development through Mobile Clinics, Educational Workshops, and Development Projects.

We invite your school to join us, and the many other universities and colleges around the world that have empowered students to become changemakers by creating on-campus Chapters.

A MEDLIFE Chapter brings your students the opportunity to…


Volunteer abroad on Service Learning Trips	Learn about international development	Immerse themselves in another culture and language	Build leadership skills and professional networks

Give back locally through volunteering	Shadow healthcare professionals in the field	Gain a deeper understanding of global health

Being involved with MEDLIFE is not like joining another club - its bigger than that. It is about joining a movement that seeks to help change people’s quality of life for forever.

Not only was I able to participate in a week long Mobile Clinic, shadowing doctors of all types of specialties including pharmacy, dentistry, gynecology, and more, but I was also able to learn about the culture and visit incredible places.

One thing that I really loved about this trip was that MEDLIFE made sure that the volunteers got an understanding of the complexity of issues that lead to underprivileged people in communities outside of the main city

Whether it was basketball with the local kids, assisting the doctors, talking with families, building washrooms, holding babies, or spending time with the people who were on the SLT with me, this was an amazing opportunity that I would do over and over again.

Our family had the privilege of participating in multiple trips with Nick [founder] and his amazing staff. Their expertise made the trips unforgettable while instilling in my boys the fundamentals of good character: selflessness, compassion, and empathy.

As an aspiring physician, MEDLIFE motivated me to further continue my goal of becoming a doctor. In fact, I enjoyed the Tanzania Service Learning Trip so much that I decided to go on another trip to Cusco, Peru.
