A Southern California nonprofit group is seeking 2 pediatricians for its upcoming medical mission to Nicaragua.
Rancho Mirage-based International Medical Alliance (IMA) has already assembled a team of more than 60 doctors, nurses, dentists, and support personnel who have agreed to volunteer their time and talents on a 10-day medical mission to Esteli, Nicaragua, from August 4 to 14. In addition to volunteering their time and talents, volunteers will be expected to pay for their own airfare. Room and board will be provided by the Nicaraguan government. IMA is a nonprofit organization that recruits doctors from every medical discipline to volunteer their time and talents to make a positive difference in the lives of children and adults with limited economic means, both in the United States and overseas. For more information about this volunteer effort in Nicaragua, contact Ines Allen at 760-485-8963 or visit www.internationalmedicalalliance.org/events.
