How to impress your Elective Supervisor
Before you head overseas for your elective or work placement we really try and stress how important it is to build a really good relationship with your supervisor - this week we asked the students if they had any tips on impressing the people who matter.
Who we are…
Work the World is the UK’s leading provider of healthcare electives in Africa, Asia and South America for UK and international students.
We have a knowledgeable team in the UK as well as in each of our overseas destinations, and enjoy strong partnerships with a large number of hospitals, clinics, government authorities and NGOs.
We will efficiently organise a safe, structured placement that matches your interests as well as provide you with the support required to make the most of your experience.
