We welcome medical volunteers for our future missions, both medical professionals and para-professionals. We ask new medical volunteers for a monetary donation for patient expenses($500 for physicians and $300 for non-physicians). This donation is waived after your first mission trip. Residents and medical students are exempt from this donation. Each medical mission is approximately 10 working days. There will be both surgery and clinic opportunities as well as community based education. You may prefer to plan a trip for two weeks so that you leave time to sight-see at the end of the mission. Both countries have a lot to offer. For example, in Jamaica- there is scuba diving, beaches, waterfalls as well as hiking to Blue Mountain peak. The Serengeti is just two hours away from the health unit in Tanzania and you can go on Safari after the mission. Tanzania is also home to exotic Zanzibar and Mount Kilamanjaro.
