I am a big advocate for people to travel overseas, outside their own country and open their minds culturally. Especially nurses and docs. It will change your life completely.
Here are some great medical mission programs around the world.
Doctors Without Borders:
involved in every war torn, poor country / natural disaster your can imagine. They are heavily involved in Africa, Asia and recently the Indonesian Tsunami and Haiti. They are the frontlines of the medical field overseas literally, in many war zones.

Mercy Ships:
A huge floating surgical hospital on a cruise ship (300 rooms) that travels to cities all along West Africa. Amazing medical organization. Performed more 20,000 surgeries for the world's poorest for free. All volunteer crew, who pay for themselves. Long and short-term volunteer shifts.
