Upcoming Trip Information Trip Update 2020-2021: MEDLIFE is currently hosting remote service learning trips due to the travel ban during the coronavirus pandemic. Please browse our opportunities here. The price is $249 for a week-long trip or $189 for a weekend.
What is an SLT? Service learning trips are a great way to travel and experience a new culture while gaining clinical experience. During the SLT you will:
- Shadow doctors - Take basic vitals - Participate in development projects - Become familiar with a new culture and learn more about global health - Gain service hours - Gain letters of recommendation from our doctors on site.
What Makes MEDLIFE unique? Unlike other organizations at UCLA, MEDLIFE partners with doctors from the site we visit (NOT US doctors). In addition, we have a patient follow-up program where our patients continue to receive the care they need long after our visit.
How to Fundraise for the Trip: 1. Make a Go Fund Me Page
2. Sell custom shirts through Bonfire
3. Use Fundly, a site similar to Go Fund Me but using images to explain your cause
4. Have a bake sale
5. Have a penny drive where individuals only donate pennies
6. Used book sale
7. Create a Facebook page solely for funding and share with your friends/family
8. Ask for donations from old high school teachers or professors!
