Wherever the art of medicine is loved, there is also a love of humanity. ~Hippocrates

The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center features a unique student interest group focused on Global Health. Each summer the group plans a mission trip abroad where the students are able to volunteer in local clinics and experience first-hand health care in a country outside their own. Each trip is unique, but all reflect the common desire of the students to volunteer their time and energy in helping others, while receiving a broader view of the world themselves. This year our group served communities in both Peru and Ghana for several weeks in June and July.

On our Missions page you can check out our past missions to:

Ghana
Peru
Vietnam
Nepal

We are also planning two trips in 2012 to Northern Uganda to support local communities in Gulu and Atiak.
