Pulse: UNE Medical Missions

From the UNE directory, Sep 7, 2026

Pulse: UNE Medical Missions Club works with the Foundation for International Medical Relief of Children (FIMRC) to give student-lead, on-campus chapters the incredible opportunity to work with children by participating in both the clinical and health education aspects of on-site operations in many locations. These locations include Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, India, Nicaragua, Peru, Philippines, and Uganda. FIMRC’s mission is to provide access to healthcare for low-resourced and medically underserved families around the world. Volunteer activities involve attending to clinical needs and psychological services, observing primary care consults and inputting patient information into an electronic medical records system. Volunteers will also be leading interactive health education sessions with teens, children, and families. Chapter members gain invaluable experience working alongside health professionals, interacting with international communities, and forming unforgettable memories and skills that last a lifetime.Pulse’s mission and impact here on campus and within local communities is to actively raise awareness about public health and provide services to families and children in local hospitals and soup kitchens, along with the leading of many service projects which include holding fundraisers, conducting donation drives, coordinating community service events, and volunteering as well!
