Lead your students to make a real-world impact in global health and medicine

GLOBAL HEALTH SQUADS

With the facilitation of our local teams, students help improve health outcomes in under resourced communities abroad by supporting and participating in clinics and public health campaigns. 

Bring International Experiential Service Learning Programs to Your Students through:

ONLINE HYBRID LEARNING

Online Hybrid Global Health Squads propel students into an international medical relief organization right from the classroom.  These online programs create engaging experiential learning environments by leveraging telemedical tools and in-country medical teams to involve students in real patient cases and healthcare work.

INTERNATIONAL GROUP TRAVEL

In-country Global Health Squads travel internationally to collaborate with our medical teams and partner communities. Guided by our professional staff students provide healthcare screenings, educational workshops, and complete infrastructure projects that improve health outcomes in partner communities abroad.

GLOBAL MEDICAL ACADEMY

Lead a small group of students (3 or more) on the Global Medical Academy on 9-day medical trips to Belize and Panama. On each trip, students will get hands-on experience in patient intake, triage, patient consultation (shadowing doctors), and supporting in the pharmacy while volunteering in rural clinics.

Start planning your squad!

Squads are passionate groups of volunteers who mobilize abroad to create positive change. Each Squad type has a skill-based focus area that support the education, health and economic development objectives of community partners. Faculty choose their dates, duration (typically 1-2 weeks), and their site location from one of our six program countries.
