WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE THROUGH THE FIELD OF MEDICINE?
Then be a part of the ABC medical mission! This is the ideal opportunity to help make a small difference in the lives of others. It is also a wonderful learning experience for those who desire to one day work in the medical field.
About The Trip
Basic Schedule
The mission trip typically occurs annually in late June and early July, and lasts one week (Saturday to Saturday) with 4 days of clinic and ending with 2 days of marine ecology mission. The makeshift clinics are located in 4 different villages, with each clinic lasting from 8 AM to 2 PM.
Living Arrangements
The majority of the group usually stays in the ABC dormitory (*also called the "B-BLUE Hub"), which consists of 2 large dorm rooms (1 male and 1 female) which can each hold 18 people. There are an additional 3 cabanas which can hold 4 people each, as well as a doubles suite. A bus will transport the entire group to and from the clinics.

Mission group requirements
Each mission group is limited to no more than 50 people, which brings the doctor - student ratio requirement to 12 medical professionals : 36 students. [*Additional volunteers will need to arrange for their own living accommodations].
