“I felt drawn to the thought of studying medicine overseas, in Israel, and on the campus at Ben-Gurion University at Soroka Hospital where the patients receive treatment for especially rare congenital and infectious diseases and speak such languages as Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, and Amharic. Ben-Gurion accepted my application to study medicine. It all seemed like a Peace Corps dream.”

Fourth year student, Aaron Zimmerman, a graduate of the Peace Corps and former journalist, has published the story of his journey to medicine in WorldView Magazine, the global Peace Corps publication.
