Medical Service Trip to Guatemala

While down here at school I have gotten involved with the Latino Medical Student Association (LMSA) and we have had the wonderful opportunity to organize a medical service trip to Antigua, Guatemala! We will be working with IVHQ, an international service organization who will place our group with host families while we provide much needed medical care in the underserved rural areas outside of Antigua. We will be working directly with local physicians in clinics, orphanages, schools, and local communities to provide physical examinations, health and wellness education, and help in whatever other way we can. We are really looking forward to this great service opportunity while having the great chance to put to good use the clinical skills we have been learning in medical school. We are working hard to raise funds to help us get to Guatemala so if you are able to help in any way it would be so very much appreciated. Here's the link:
