The Pre-Med Internship program was a wonderful experience as I was able to observe many things and help doctors whenever I could. ABV was helpful in addressing my needs and giving me guidance in what I should do.
Ecuador is a wonderful place and the host family that ABV assigned to me was an absolute joy to live with. The food was as authentic as you could get to Ecuadorian standards and the whole country was beautiful to explore as well. ABV did a wonderful job partnering up with grassroot organizations, to provide events that we could attend to, while also providing opportunities to meet new people.
The doctors are nice and respond to any questions you have without hesitation. Overall, it is a fortunate thing to see just how hard-working the doctors/nurses are in the hospital and how much they care for the patients.
Exploring Mindo, Ecuador was really exciting and fun. I was able to go ziplining, birdwatching, and hiking. Mindo is a small town that is beautiful both day and night.
