Hello everyone! Our names are Patricia Otero and Melanie Gonzalez and we are two best friends in medical school doing a mission trip to Costa Rica this April. We are both passionate about giving back to communities in need, so completing a mission trip during medical school was one of our goals that we are finally able to make a reality!
We are looking forward to participating in this healthcare volunteer project where we will be able to help with essential healthcare tasks and shadow local medical professionals to observe and assist them with their work. As future physicians, this is a great opportunity to see clinical practice in action and enjoy the cross-cultural exchange of ideas and learnings that come from volunteering in another country’s healthcare system. We appreciate any help that we can get at this time to help us fund this mission, empowering us to give back to local Costa Rican communities. Anything you can donate would be beneficial in us achieving this goal and greatly appreciated.
