How I did it: My application took about nine months from start to finish. I didn't have as many hiccups as I expected (basically I got medical clearance the first go and I was worried about being MNQ'ed), but it still just takes a long time because the volume of applicants is very high right now. Apply early! I'm going to Niger on October 21st as an ag volunteer in small animal husbandry. I have a blog: einthepc.blogspot.com, if you're interested in fo… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Actually, I found that my internship at a non-profit was more useful in learning grant writing skills. Taking a class involved a lot of time and busy work. Read how I did it…
I haven’t updated on this goal in a while because I got busy with other things, but I received my invitation about 3 weeks ago and I’m leaving for Niger, West Africa on October 21st. I’m very excited and nervous!
After three months of waiting, I my medical clearance letter in the mail today! I basically got a verbal assurance from my OMS nurse on Monday that I was all good but I wasn’t satisfied until I had the letter in hand. :)
After they finally opened my file, they requested some more information about mono I had freshman year of college and one time I saw a therapist in my sophomore year, and I faxed that in a week later. All totaled, it took a couple of weeks to complete the medical review, which was less of a pain than I expected. It probably felt less frustrating because I’d been steeling myself for a hassle!
Hopefully, placement won’t take very long because I would really like to make my nomination in October!
Two days ago…now the only thing I can do is wait to hear from OMS. And be distracted!
