We had a good time helping the local communities while learning about the Peruvian cultures, the history, the environment as well as enjoying some of the sights that we got to see. The MEDLIFE team was wonderful!

This SLT to Peru was truly eye opening! I was provided with a new perspective of global health which will aid in my professional career. I cannot thank MedLife enough for the opportunity they granted all of us to travel to Peru to experience (and contribute to) healthcare in a different country. This was my first trip out of the country (without family) and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Thank you MedLife!

The struggle with our chaperone not being in the same hotel despite numerous promises was disappointing. The reality tour was very eye-opening and well done. The clinical days and projects were good as well.
