The NDI Global Health Professional Corps is a volunteer service program for qualified health care professionals who wish to work in service with at needs communities for 1-12 month. NDI's Professional Corps not only gives licensed medical professionals the chance to share thier gift with underserved populations, but give the provider an opportunity to expand her or his service life, work with other social health activists doing global health, and be trained to deliver naturopathic medicine in low resource countries. Professional corps requires that you to live in a developing country assisting NDI doctors & staff and attending patients.
Volunteering in a developing country is challenging emotionally, physically & mentally, and offers great personal and professional rewards. We recommend you attend a 10-day CE Certified NDI course in Nicaragua, to assess your skills and gain field experience.

All personal expenses must be paid by the volunteer while living and working in Nicaragua and must carry their own health insurance and trip cancellation insurance.
