At the end of each year, a number of freshman medical students go on medical mission trips. Looking back on my summer, I wish I had gone on one of these trips.

As I mentioned in another post, I often get asked what Loma Linda University is like. In a previous post (What is Loma Linda University really like?), I mentioned that service is really emphasized here.

The Class of 2010 put together a couple videos to show the types of things they did during their first summer. Below are the two videos telling the stories of these students and the patients they met.

Disclaimer: There are a couple graphic photographs (medically related). Be warned.

    So cool! In remote places in Indonesia, things are pretty much the same. I wish to go there by the end of my internship year.
