After a long, energizing, 17-day excursion, these NSCS members are back and better than ever!  Participating in the Ultimate Med Internship allowed these college students to take a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and return with an experience unmatched.  These special NSCS members had a great time gaining hands-on experience in real-life gross anatomy labs, attending operating and medical treatment rooms, in addition to observing human autopsies.  These students gained knowledge about the medical field, usually unavailable to those in high school, now have a competitive advantage when pursuing medical school and future careers.  Check out some of the highlights of their trip in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India!
