The best CME I have been on in 24 years of practice!
Well run, organized, personalized customer service.
What energetic, fun and creative organizers!
Such interesting lectures and speakers, who were both knowledgeable and approachable.
I learned topics that I could really take home and use, especially stress relief and breathing techniques.
Such a comfy location...yoga mats and bolsters in a tree top yoga studio with the best view of the birds!
Great activities for non-medical people as well...yoga, surfing, salsa, kayaking, horseback riding, and nature hikes.
Everyone loved the sunset parties on the beach every night!

I had a great time with Ari and Roxanne getting my WFR certification. They were so incredibly experienced, knowledgeable and fun. They both were patient and did a great job communicating. When our venue fell through (where we were doing our course work) they quickly found another place and our learning were barley interrupted. I am really looking forward to using Med treks again.

Cannot say enough amazing things about Ari and the MedTreks International experience!!
I travelled to Morocco in November on a MedTreks trip and I am still so blown away reflecting on not only our travels, but the incredible people I met along the way, and the heart behind this company.
I'll start by saying WOW ~ the trip was incredible!! Ari is an exceptional guide and curated the most thoughtful and well-rounded trip. I truly felt immersed in the culture and learned so much about Morocco. It is a country so unique and unlike anywhere I've ever traveled before. Trip highlights were the sunset camel ride in the Sahara, a tagine cooking class, and of course the hamam spa day! All of the food was EXCELLENT, and our accommodations were fantastic. We were given a thorough itinerary in advance, had two awesome locals guiding us through the country, visited the most amazing spots, and had several intimate cultural experiences, for example, having lunch with the Nomadic Berber people in their home. I highly recommend to all considering - all you have to do is show up and be ready for awe and wonder.
I also want to mention - MedTreks seems to attract really amazing individuals for their trips - it was so fun getting to know each person in our group which made the experience that much better. Having previously taken group trips, this community felt especially connected and I only have positive things to say about the experience!! I think everyone drawn to MedTreks has a heart for adventure, life-long learning, and meaningful connection.
MedTreks has an unbelievable depth of knowledge having run tours worldwide for some 40 years now - I was blown away in conversation with Ari and with other travelers who have been on a trip with them in past. To hear about the trip planning and seriously INCREDIBLE experiences they coordinate inspires me to do all my travels with them!! Learning more about the positive impact of the trips on local cultures and the MedTreks foundation in Kenya is also so cool. It feels like this company is a hidden gem putting together once in a lifetime moments for people.
