The MedicIndia fellowship is a profound personal experience. It is an intense
opportunity to understand participatory development. It is a taxing event that
will change how you look at medicine, India, and yourself. Through voluntary service, participants will be forced
to think outside of the box and pushed to their limits. With the assistance of
New Civil Hospital in Surat, the
fellowship looks to provide a transformational experience. The group dynamics
will require each fellow to share themselves and their beliefs quickly and
personally. It is the personal and medical sides of each participant that
MedicIndia looks to develop. Through the experience that each of you face, your
medical and personal lines will blend into one.
MedicIndia has
been started to fulfill the need to connect future leaders to India. It hopes
to provide its students with a new perspective on India. Fellows will be
exposed to poverty and richness of heart. They will be exposed to untraditional
and effective methods. They will face hurdles and successes. The MedicIndia
fellowship will provide you with as much as you look to develop out of it. As
an organization, MedicIndia has much potential and ability to grow. The
MedicIndia staff will support your endeavors and visions. It is a fellowship
that has fulfilled the basic needs of food, housing, and company. In return, it
asks that you fully dedicate yourself to bettering the lives of the community,
patients, staff, doctors, and most importantly, yourself.
Service work in
India can be an overpowering and overbearing experience. This is especially
true as participants will enter a comparatively untraditional endeavor.
However, with the support of your group, site staff, and MedicIndia staff, the
experience will be a growing one.
MedicIndia looks
to harness the power and ability of developing doctors. It looks to teach that
service is about community sharing, community involvement, and
self-empowerment. Thus, this fellowship will strengthen the self while
illustrating the power of service, health-care, and passion.
