Join Dr. Sahil Mehta and Dr. Shital Vora as they chat about volunteering ethically in rural Central America, West Africa, Greece, and beyond! Plus, discover how experiential volunteering can shape your personal and professional paths – and in medical school.

Global Medical Brigades is the largest student-led movement for global health, working alongside under-resourced communities to mobilize access to health care. And you can join to become a leader.

After attending, you’ll be able to answer the following questions:

  •  How can pre-med students like me get volunteer experience abroad in an ethical way and help a community?
  • What are the benefits of international volunteering?
  •  How can I apply volunteering experiences to medical school applications, interviews, and extracurriculars?
  •  What global health insights and cultural competency can be translated into my medical career?
