<p>This question is for my brother, another premed</p>

<p>He is going to Kenya next summer in hope of Volunteering at the Aga Khan Hospital in Mombasa. There are volunteer positions there available. My questions are,</p>

<p>1) Does this qualify as clinical experience
2) His college has no option to legitimize his visit (like study abroad etc), so what should he do?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

2

<p>Why is he doing it? What is he going to do with the experiance? What about docs without borders?</p>

3

<p>Kenya, really?</p>

<p>Why would you need to go there for experience?</p>

4

<p>He is interested in practicing in foreign third world countries if/when he gets his MD. Also, we have family there to make it easier.</p>

5

<p>Yes, and why would it matter?</p>
