Students help serve these teams; they estimate they’ll be serving approximately 35,000 of the underserved with varying levels of health care.
ISL sends medical/dent/opt/public health/PT/vet/pharmaceutical teams to countries in Latin America, Central America, and Africa. We include pre-health students on our teams as a way of preparing the next generation of international medical caregivers. Students receive supervised hands-on experience, health related seminars, and financial sponsorship.
Listings of university, professional, and student references available upon request. Over a 14 year period we’ve fielded over three hundred teams and annually provide health care for 15,000 of the underserved.
