Background information

• Medicos en Accion team operates on a more intense schedule than you might experience in Canada. There are no scheduled days-off.  Schedules and work assignments can change on short notice.

• While our accommodations are clean, comfortable and in a fantastic setting, we do rely on sharing space at our hotel. Accommodations consist of casitas (two bedrooms, kitchen living room, patio and washrooms or hotel- style rooms)
