Embark on a six-week summer study abroad program based out of Lima, the capital city of Peru, and work with Peruvian doctors to study – and help decrease – the prevalence of newborn diseases and illness in pregnant mothers.
Drs. Dan and Jane Ricks lead the trip, guided by international experience in medicine and education as well as a vision for sustainable health care for all.
Life for six weeks in Peru is not all work. Mountain bike, paraglide, walk the beaches and explore one of the world’s largest cities all while taking in a vibrant culture and beautiful country.
Help us both educate tomorrow’s leaders and bring health care to a country beset by a 40 percent poverty rate.
