Shadow Program & Physician Coordinator
In partnership with the Kirk Kekorian School of Medicine, UNLV, Nevada, and The University of Zagreb Medical School in Croatia; The Shadow Program allows medical students in their last year of education to deploy with TEAM5 and receive hands-on experience treating patients under the instruction of the practitioners. Nightly lectures on the unique case studies by different cadres and personal training on safety and security while traveling abroad. This is a chance of a lifetime. But, only five students are selected a year, so it's quite competitive.
Requirements include:
Currently a student at a medical university
In your 3rd, 4th or 5th year, of course.
Competitive GPA
Physically fit
Team player
The cost depends on the location (Travel, lodging, and food) and a small donation to the program.
