https://www.creighton.edu/ministry/ilac/ ‌Hello!! I am a third year medical student at Creighton attempting to raise money to serve for a month in the Dominican Republic this summer. I will be traveling to the Dominican Republic with the ILAC group to help provide medical services to those in need who would otherwise be unable to find medical help.
The Institute for Latin American Concern (ILAC) Center in the Dominican Republic is an international, Christian, Ignatian-inspired, collaborative health care and educational organization that exists to promote the integral well-being and spiritual growth of all its participants. It all began at Creighton University with the vision of two Jesuit priests. All of Creighton’s ILAC programs emphasize the importance of global vision and understanding in the process of education and successful, well-rounded individuals. To this end, Creighton’s ILAC programs offer dental, medical, nursing, pharmacy, law, physical therapy and occupational therapy, undergraduate and high school students, and also to faculty-led groups, medical/surgical teams and other colleges/universities’ students, the opportunity to learn, to serve and to be served in the Dominican Republic.
