Medicine
Our medical programmes give you the unparalleled opportunity to
gain experience in medicine in a different country. You will spend
time shadowing doctors, nurses and other health care professionals
on ward rounds and may have the opportunity to spend more time in
specific departments that you're interested in such as theatre,
A and E, paediatrics and more, if your time with us permits.
The practice of medicine in foreign countries is starkly different
to our own. In poorer countries, medical care is expensive and often
patients can't afford treatments. You may witness a doctor trying
to establish the extent of injuries sustained in an accident when
the patient can't afford x-rays, or gain experience in diseases
such a polio as patients can't afford the inoculations. You will
also witness the treatment of tropical and infectious diseases we
just don't see, such as malaria, typhoid or bilharzia.
Medical projects can be combined with teaching, work in an orphanage
or any of our other projects. They can be done as part of a gap
year or during the summer holidays.
Having this experience on your application to university or college
can significantly improve your chances of getting a place on that
competitive course so contact
us now to chat about your requirements and securing a place
on one of our medical projects.
This project is not just for budding medical students, this programme
may also be suitable for those about to study:
