Service Learning Trip to the Dominican Republic

About the Project 🇩🇴

Nearly every year since 2016, students in pre-health and Spanish programs participate in a humanitarian medical trip to the Dominican Republic, gaining hands-on experience. While there, students also act as translators for American doctors, therapists and pharmacists. This immersive experience becomes a key memory and building block of their life while at Westminster and long after, with some alumni choosing to participate in the trip even after they graduate.
