The Ecuador Medical Outreach Program provides free medical care to the underserved population in rural areas of Ecuador. Students, faculty, physicians, dentists, staff and volunteers from the community give their time and talent to provide medical care that would otherwise be unavailable due to the significant shortage of healthcare professionals.
Our goal is to provide quality care and build sustainable relationships with the opportunity to teach and practice. This unique opportunity offers the chance to serve medically needy populations in beautiful isolated areas of Ecuador. Participants will have the opportunity to practice, teach, perform research, and treat an extremely wide variety of diseases.
The areas served range from beautiful mountains under 9,000 feet to the cloud forests and eventually down to the rain forest. The local leader is a veterinarian and an environmentalist who not only works with us in arranging our sites but also shows us ways to better see the beautiful environment in which we will be providing the health care services.
