My Travel Story

by: Réka Válóczy Start Date: May 14, 2018 - End Date: Jul 12, 2018
I am a last-year medical student from Hungary and I have been chosen for a Neurology internship in Manaus, Brazil (practically the middle of the rain forest) which will take place in July. As a future Neurologist I could gain invaluable experience, especially in infection-related neurological conditions, e.g. meningoencephalitis, different post-infection autoimmune disorders etc. While I will be able to improve professionally and broaden my horizone I can help treating people in a country where accessing medical care may not be as easy as it is in Europe. For my work I will recieve no payment, the only thing I get is free accomodation for a month.

However, the price of the plane ticket and all the needed vaccinations is unfortunatelly more than my family can afford without a loan. So if you are able to give, please consider my case. Thank you! :)
