Broaden your healthcare elective

To fully understand how healthcare is delivered in your choice of destination, it is important to understand how culture, tradition, environment and geographical location affect the choices people make when sourcing care. To complement your healthcare elective we have developed unique add-on projects that will help you appreciate more about the country you are living in and the people you are treating.

Village healthcare experience

Living and working in a rural community will give you amazing insight into the challenges people face with limited access to healthcare, as well as a chance to embrace the culture and traditions of life outside of the city. Available in Ghana, Tanzania and Nepal.

Ayurvedic medicine experience

In many Asian countries, the majority of the population will opt for holistic over modern medicine, or use the two in combination. Understanding the theory and enjoying some of the treatments will give you a more rounded view of healthcare. Available in Sri Lanka.

Intensive Spanish Course

A good grasp of Spanish will really enhance your South American placement. Our intensive course combines fun, practical activities with basic and medical Spanish to help you make the most of your time. Available in Argentina and Peru.
