Medical Clearance

Hey there!

So I am currently knee-deep in the arduous task of completing my Medical Clearance for the Peace Corps. As I am currently residing in the United Kingdom, each step seems to take 3 extra, and most immunizations have to be translated (yes translated) or explained, or special ordered…it is exhausting but I know it will be worth it when it comes down to the assignment.

This is the final step before I am given my official invitation, which will contain my country and project and departure date!

I received my nomination the end of June, so it has been a busy couple of months. I have been informed by the Dentist that I will need my wisdom teeth taken out, which is of course a 3 month waiting list to get it done on the NHS. I am a little hesitant to get any form of oral surgery done in the land of Bad Teeth, but what can you do…it’s free. Anyway…some day soon I will submit my medical forms and I will be cleared and have my assignment! Fingers Crossed..
