Professional Placements
Just because your studies are behind you, it doesn't mean you’ve missed out on the fun. Hospitals and clinics in our destinations can always find a use for an extra pair of (trained) hands. The benefits of choosing Work the World for a professional placemnet include:
- A guaranteed hospital placement, individually organised by our professional staff in your chosen country
- The security, freedom and social atmosphere of living in a Work the World house
- All your food and other living costs overseas
- Expert advice from our highly experienced UK team before you go
- Support from our overseas staff teams throughout your placement
And best of all, you get all of this at a price that’s comparable to organising a placement yourself.
In all of our destinations we have partnerships with a wide range of hospitals and clinics. This allows us to tailor your placement to your specific requirements. Whether you want to specialize in a particular field of medicine such as obstetrics, paediatrics or A&E, or work across different departments, we can arrange it for you.
Our placements are totally flexible, allowing you to start and finish exactly when you want to. We can usually organise placements at very short notice . Our experienced staff team are always happy to answer any questions you have, or just to chat about the destinations and opportunities we offer.
