How Does Medlife Support Sustainable Care?
MEDLIFE is different from other organizations because our brigades are not one-time visits to communities that are then left abandoned. We support our communities by providing local healthcare providers, long-term partnering, and follow-up care within our mobile clinics.
Do I Have To Be Pre-Med?
Not at all! Our members have diverse career goals. We support these goals by hosting frequent speakers from all different healthcare realms. No matter your career path, MEDLIFE Is a great place to meet other students, learn about a range og aspects of healthcare, volunteer, and gain mentors.
