Virtual Service Learning Trips
This is MED Anywhere, MEDLIFE’s virtual service-learning experience. A week-long trip that offers students an immersive travel and volunteer experience all from the comfort of their own home or dorm.
The world around us has changed, but MEDLIFE remains committed to both our partner communities and our student communities around the world. As we continue with our emergency response to COVID-19, we have established new and innovative ways to offer service-learning experiences to volunteers.
We are thrilled to introduce MED Anywhere, a virtual service-learning trip that provides hands-on learning and remote service opportunities. Join us for a week to learn more about COVID-19 in Peru, meet community members and medical professionals facing the crisis, and to network with fellow MEDLIFErs from around the world.

“I think my favorite part of the entire thing was being able to actually interact and ask questions with the community leaders and the chef. It gives you a different perspective…”
