medical internship in Cameroon for 3 months?

Question

im planning on going to Cameroon this summer over in west africa to participate in a medical internship. Since Im fluent in french and going into a french speaking country. how good would this experience look on a resume or on a medical school resume?

Answer 1

It would look great. Not only would you be getting hands-on experience and using another language, but I was recently on a committee to select recipients of a university honor, and one of the things I noticed was that more credit was given to those who went to developing countries and were willing to withstand the hardships than to those who went to developed countries.
