Testimonials from past participants:

I am very thankful that NSCS informed me about this awesome opportunity, which I will never forget. The trip to India opened my eyes to how I can use my career to help people. At first I was reluctant to go, seeing myself more as a medical scientist-researcher. I changed my mind when I began to realize the trip would be an exciting opportunity to see many facets of medical treatment in a concentrated form. I can now say that the UMI program was everything I hoped it would be, but the most important benefit was that any reluctance I previously had to becoming a hands-on doctor was erased by this immersive experience with medical science and compassion.

I decided to participate in the college UMI for a few reasons, but mainly because it was such a unique opportunity in the healthcare field and because I love to travel and experience new cultures. One highlight of my experience was surely the exposure I got to different branches of medicine. It was awesome to be able to shadow doctors of all different specialties and see what really peaked my interest for my future career. Another highlight was seeing live surgeries. I never really had any interest in surgery before the college UMI trip, but now it may be what I go into! If someone were interested in going I would definitely recommend it but tell them it takes a lot of courage and flexibility. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity that paid for itself in experience. You learn as much about medicine as you do about a new culture, which makes you a better rounded individual.

The trip to India was definitely amazing and eye opening. Not only did I get to learn what doctors do on a daily basis, but also how hospitals and their departments functions overall. Many of the doctors motivated me and gave me determination to become a doctor.
