The participants will spend their month in the NGO with regular visits to Haifa Hospital.

In the hospital, the participants are allowed to choose to rotate in any department(s) they wish. The complexity of their work and their involvement in the management of patients depends on their academic level and the permission of the physicians responsible there.

In the NGO, the participants can join the activities that the NGO already runs, can initiate new activities, and/or can run activities that the local SCORP has provided. This includes preventive medicine and health awareness lectures, English lessons, computer literacy, music and art activities.

The participants can also work on Saturdays in an outpatient setting in another refugee camp (Shatila) inside Beirut. The organization in called "the Voluntary Outreach Clinic" and is run by volunteer medical students (mostly SCORP members) as well as by several volunteer doctors.

The participants are expected to write a brief report on the month they have spent in the camp and to fill out an evaluation form prepared by the local SCORP group.

This project is scheduled to occur in the summer (July - August) extending over one month. Five to 10 applicants will be considered for the summer. Food, housing, and transportation will be provided.
