Our Goal
Re-established in 2016, MEDLIFE at UCSD is dedicated to improving life and quality of education, medicine, and community development. We are different in our maintenance of a nonprofit secular identity and that we are a smaller organization that promotes member input and participation. We believe that medicine is not just the clinical aspect—it involves the treatment of the individual as a person who has the ability to learn how to make changes in his or her life and community.
Although we do travel abroad, we strive to apply our principles in a way that aids the communities local to us as well. Apart from our role in promoting public health, we also promote the idea of multiculturalism, encouraging everyone who participates to take advantage of opportunities to learn about other cultures and not just be visiting tourists. We welcome all people who want to learn about the different aspects of society, whether it be community structure (engineering and architecture), language, and general culture and practices of the area. |
