MED Anywhere is a Virtual Service Learning Trip that allows students to engage in meaningful learning and volunteering from the comfort of their home or dorm. Through a series of interactive Zoom workshops, participants explore key topics like global health, poverty, and inequality. The program offers more than a typical virtual class. Students experience immersive sessions that highlight the social, economic, and historical factors impacting underserved communities. They also learn how MEDLIFE collaborates with these communities to create sustainable change. A key highlight of MED Anywhere is the opportunity to connect directly with local professionals in healthcare, education, and development, as well as community leaders. These virtual Q&A sessions and roundtable discussions provide unique insight and foster meaningful exchange.

The course commences with a comprehensive introduction, followed by an in-depth exploration of the history and culture of the Andean world. Participants will also examine the economic landscape of Cusco to better understand the region’s contemporary challenges and opportunities. The program concludes with a round table discussion, providing participants the opportunity to engage directly with local perspectives and deepen their understanding through meaningful dialogue.

The day includes sessions on education and healthcare in Cusco, an overview of MEDLIFE’s work in the region, a roundtable discussion with local leaders, and a guided tour of Machu Picchu.
