Jason shares his 15-year journey running interdisciplinary global health trips for physical therapy, pre-med, and nursing students.

Topics Covered:

  • The birth of Global Community Health Volunteers
  • How service trips are structured and funded
  • Advice for students who want to go
  • Fundraising lessons learned (ditch the bake sales)
  • Why content matters — and how to tell stories that stick
