Re: opportunities to shadow a physician in the summer?

I am really happy to see this.
But i think u really have to decide what u want to do. What kinds of camp u want to open or what kind of faclities u think u would be able to supply and how. It needs a bit of home work like details of the area, disease prevalence in that area and people.
It is not a big problem but i think i would be able to help u out if u send me ur plans. My e mail is

Re: opportunities to shadow a physician in the summer?

I am a Pakistani and was born and raised there. I am well aware of the porblems in the hospitals and clinics. I am not sure if there are any free clinics or free health care facilities available in the rural areas. I would like to setup some sort of a medical camp in lets says a village. just wondering if there are people who carry out such sorts of activities and if there is an interest of doing that among the medical students in pak.
