Beyond Nursing: Embracing Cultural Wisdom and Personal Growth with International Medical Aid in Mombasa

by: Leah M - United StatesProgram: Nursing/Pre-Nursing Internships Abroad for Aspiring Nurses
10

International Medical Aid truly pushed me to my limits in the best way possible. I learned so much during my time in Mombasa. Much of what I learned was medical, but I also took away a different perspective and mindset. I quickly learned that when being immersed in different cultures it is very important to understand why they do things the way they do and appreciate it. This experience will most definitely make me a better healthcare worker, along with a more well rounded person.

This program exceeded my expectations. The program is very well organized and I really liked how there were things planned every day for us to do whether it was mandatory or an optional tour. The residence was extremely safe; I never once felt unsafe. The food was incredible and the staff were very good with accommodating people with food allergies. All of the staff at the residence were extremely friendly and were always welcoming to any questions or concerns. This program has made a huge impac...

This was an experience of a lifetime. The treks were amazing and I learned so much about Kenyan culture and history. The hygiene clinics left me smiling. The kids were so happy to see us and they were so fun to teach and play with. I felt like I was helping these kids by reinforcing their knowledge and answering any questions they had. It left me feeling warm and fuzzy inside. Being in the hospital can get difficult emotionally and mentally. Observing taught me a lot and motivated me to work har...

I have had a dream to intern abroad for a long time. This dream stemmed primarily from reading. Reading books enabled me to learn about different perspectives through the exposure of such various walks of life. I realize that when you have an urge to do something, whatever it is, you do it because that is an urge from the innermost part of your soul and no one can reckon with such a will.
