Are you looking for a project to gain medical experience? Our Medical Volunteer in Arusha, is perfectly designed for medical students or those with a medical background looking to volunteer abroad! Here, you will work alongside experienced, English-speaking doctors and Nurses assisting in the care of the patients. Please note, that as this program is based in a government-operated hospital, recording and analyzing will be a key part of this project, and is primarily an observational project.
(Although some tasks may include medication preparation, blood pressure measurement, basic triage and wound care.) For that reason, this program is best suited to pre-medical or medical students hoping to gain more insight into the outreach.
