The Best Trip of My Life

I had the opportunity to go on the Pre-Med trip to Costa Rica last summer and had a great time. The experience taught me about the incredible culture of Costa Rica and key medical skills that I will use later in life.

The trip has many highlights such as white water rafting, ziplining, surfing, and more! You also get to try unique foods and learn about the medical system in Costa Rica.

My favorite part of the whole trip was the in-clinic experience. As someone interested in medicine, this was a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the field. I interacted with patients and learned about how to test blood sugar, give shots, and fill prescriptions. Additionally, my Spanish skills improved significantly through daily interactions with patients and healthcare professionals. You even get 45 hours of service just by learning!

Overall, this trip to beautiful Costa Rica was an incredible experience. It allowed me to learn more, gain practical experience, and make memories. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone interested in pursuing a career in medicine or simply experiencing the beauty of Costa Rica.
