When I was a medical student, I went on some trips to Mexico and Ecuador during my spring/fall breaks. It was very rewarding, plus you got to experience an entirely different perspective on healthcare.

I volunteer last spring and went to Arkansas to help out in an organization that provides caddle to communities in developing countries. This break we are going to a summer camp for kids on ventilators. This experiences are great cuz not only you get to meet new ppl and help out others, you will have tons of fun

This is awesome! I went on 3 Spring Break Service Trips throughout college (New Orleans, Omaha, and St. Louis). My senior year I helped plan the entire program–230 students going to 30 sites around the country. I LOVE alternative break trips and would agree, they’re a wonderful opportunity to learn about yourself and about others. Great article!!
