Hello!! My name is Brooke McKinlay and I am a second year PA student at Loma Linda University! One of the major reasons that I chose to attend Loma Linda was their passion and mission to serve those in communities that need it the most. I was fortunate enough to go to Ensenada Mexico last year with my class to serve communities without access to basic medical services. I loved every second of that trip and it ignited a passion in me to do more mission work, so when I found out about a 5 week rotation offered by Loma Linda in

Malawi, Africa - I jumped at the opportunity.

I will be going to Malawi for 5 weeks to serve at a hospital in a farmland community and I couldn't be more excited! However, due to the nature of the extremely fast-paced nature of PA school, I have not been able to work since September 2024. This International rotation is a once in a lifetime opportunity though and I am hoping to fundraise the $2,000 for travel expenses and costs to cover the trip.
