Can this internship fulfill a medical school elective rotation?
Yes, it can. We have worked with medical students in the past to certify this internship as an elective rotation through their medical school. Medical students have found the variety of medical cases uncommon in the US (i.e. malaria, various parasitic infections, scabies) and the variety of medical perspectives gleaned from working with our volunteer American physicians and residents and Honduran physicians to be rewarding and informative. Please be careful to review our FAQ on direct patient care, as medical students seeking electives involving a high level of direct medical patient care may wish to pursue other internships.
