Nursing Service Learning Trips
“MEDLIFE has been the most career-defining experience for me as a nurse… My work with MEDLIFE has significantly impacted the way that I see the world and the avenues that I have pursued within nursing after 7 years in practice… MEDLIFE has laid the framework for my work in global health and has opened up infinite possibilities for continued global health nursing in my career.”
– Cynthia Peterson, PhD(c), MSN, RN
More than a Mission Trip
A MEDLIFE Nursing Clinic offers free, high-quality healthcare to communities that lack access to basic health services. Staffed by local practitioners, clinics offer basic medical treatment and preventative screenings. These clinics are specially designed to find patients who are in need of long-term assistance.
MEDLIFE’s nurses go above and beyond to support patients throughout the follow-up care program. Volunteers will be able to join them on home visits as they support patients throughout the treatment process.
The MEDLIFE Nursing Clinic Difference
Providing Quality Care to Low-Income Communities
Our Mobile Clinics travel to low-income communities to provide quality healthcare to people who would otherwise struggle to access it. They offer general medicine, dental, and pharmacy services as well as preventative tests such as Pap Smears and breast cancer screenings.
Working On-Site with Local Professionals
MEDLIFE’s in-country nurses speak the local language, understand local systems, and provide culturally sensitive care to their patients.
Providing Follow-Up Care
Any patient who may have a serious or long-term condition is immediately placed in our patient follow-up program. Our nurses are dedicated to supporting patients every step of the way throughout the course of the treatment.
Global Education Through Service Learning
On Service Learning Trips, volunteers learn about foreign cultures and customs through first-hand experience, reflections, and workshops. By spending time with patients, community members, and medical professionals as well as attending reflective and educational meetings, they are educated on global issues.
