Checklist for Salvador 2012.pdf


 
Summer 2012  

 

The El Salvador medical program has been canceled for summer 2012 due to a change in the security situation in El Salvador.  University officials will continue to assess the security situation and we hope to return to El Salvador in the future.  In the meantime, we are working to offer alternative program options to our students, including a summer clinical experience to Ecuador.

Medical and pharmacy students will join other health care professionals in training and practice to provide health care in inner city clinics and village “brigades”.  They will support the ongoing work of CEDEINFA (Center for the Complete Development of Children and Their Families), a non-profit, non-denominational mission that helps rescue high-risk Salvadoran children who live in the poorest communities of San Salvador. Team members will be immersed in the Salvadoran culture every day, working side-by-side with Salvadoran health care professionals to provide medical care in some of the poorest communities of El Salvador.
