Medlife Chapters

Medlife ChaptersWhat is a MEDLIFE Chapter?

MEDLIFE Chapters are student groups that represent and share the MEDLIFE Movement to create a world free from the constraints of poverty at their schools and in their local communities. Our in-country staff works with impoverished communities in Peru, Ecuador, Costa Rica, and Tanzania every day — but we couldn’t do it without the support of our Chapters. They make an impact by organizing groups to volunteer in Service Learning Trips, raising awareness about global health inequality, hosting fundraisers, engaging in local community service, and hosting regional conferences, among other initiatives.

It’s thanks to their dedication and support that we are able to provide high-quality healthcare, education, and development projects to communities in need!

This trip motivated me more to pursue a career in the healthcare field so that I can use my resources to help those who need it the most, similar to MEDLIFE’s mission.

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.
