High School Volunteer in Costa Rica with FIMRC

FIMRC's Project Alajuelita, located approximately 30 minutes from the capital of San Jose, brings medical care to rural areas of Costa Rica. The centrally located clinic serves as FIMRC's base within the community where primary care and psychological services are provided to patients of all ages.

Volunteers maintain important roles in the clinic through assisting with charting patients' vitals, inputting patient data into our electronic medical record systems, building health based curricula on topics such as proper dental care, and observing clinical interactions with medical staff. Outside FIMRC's clinic, volunteers will have the opportunity to work on health based initiatives in a soup kitchen located in the underserved areas of Alajuelita where children play in safety and receive hot meals daily.

Over the course of your trip you'll receive an unfiltered experience in health care field work abroad, and learn about the tremendous impact that even one person can have!
