Why a Short-Term Medical Mission Trip with IMR?<\/h3>

Get Class Credit while Exploring the World!<\/h4>

IMR works with universities across the country to help both medical and non-medical students participate in our medical mission trips.<\/p>

Students interested in pursuing a medical career have found their experience in the field with IMR to be enormously valuable in supplementing their education. Gain\u00a080-110 clinical hours<\/strong>\u00a0on each mission while shadowing providers and having opportunities for hands-on patient assessments and direct patient interaction.<\/p>

IMR\u00a0student volunteers are heavily involved in the running our clinic operations<\/strong>, as they assist in pharmacy, patient intake, clinic triage, provider-patient care, and direct patient education on preventative and community health topics. You will receive a certificate of participation and, upon request, may receive letters of recommendation from your team leader and other volunteers you work with in the field to add to your portfolio.<\/p>

If you are looking to make your grad school application more unique,\u00a0adding international experience to your resume is a definite plus<\/strong>. Review boards will be impressed that you were able to fit in a medical mission with your packed schedule. More importantly, your mission abroad demonstrates that you have interests beyond the classroom that you actively pursued with dedication and heart.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Our clinic-based missions are designed to help you understand the realities of life in the medical field. You\u2019ll\u00a0serve with team members from a variety of backgrounds working with medical professionals<\/strong>\u00a0who will mentor you in this real clinical environment. One day you might be shadowing in pediatrics as a doctor conducts a procedure, the next you might assisting a nurse practitioner with burn injuries. You\u2019ll gain experience in every department necessary to run a clinic: intake, vitals, triage, treatment, diagnosis, pharmaceutical instruction, and community education. IMR matches your interests and specialties to maximize your opportunity.<\/p>

Whether it\u2019s shadowing a doctor in South America, participating in healthcare outreach in Asia, or helping to treat infectious diseases in Africa, we design IMR missions for both global and medical experience.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
