The following itinerary is subject to change. Actual clinic locations are sometimes not decided until a month before the departure date. People who choose to participate in MedCore must be flexible with the conditions of the program. Clinics may be held in several locations during the course of the week. MedCore programs are an intense week of cultural immersion in a rural clinic setting, where as a group, we may see up to 300 patients in one day or as little as 30. Those who have never had to provide care in a second language will find themselves by the end comfortably conducting medical assessments in Spanish.
