Clinic Trips
If you are passionate about gaining hands-on healthcare experience, working with medical professionals, and making a meaningful impact in underserved communities, we invite you to join us on our outpatient clinic trips to El Testerazo, Mexico!
Our clinic, located in El Testerazo, serves as a vital resource for providing essential health services. Participants will meet on campus at approximately 5:30 AM before traveling together across the Tecate border and continuing for about 45 minutes into Mexico. Upon arrival, you will be assigned to a specialized team based on the clinic's needs, with roles potentially including dentistry, triage, medical scribing, and other critical areas.
Throughout the day, we aim to serve as many patients as possible, dedicating our time and expertise to improving community health. After completing the clinic, we will stop for dinner on the return trip, arriving back in Irvine between 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM.
