Medicine Abroad
Projects Abroad Medicine projects are an invaluable preparation for a career in medicine. You will experience the stark contrast between Western medical practice and the realities of medicine in developing countries. Sadly, you will also see medical conditions that have remained untreated and have developed to an advanced pathological stage uncommon in developed countries.
The medical program can be tailored for:
- Elective students
- Medical students with free holiday time
- pre-university students
Placements are also available for students taking, or planning to take, specialist medical courses such as biomedical science, nursing and physiotherapy. Each placement is tailored, where possible, to a volunteer's level of relevant experience and interests, and to a preferred size and type of hospital or clinic.
The key requirements in a medical volunteer are initiative, enthusiasm, and readiness to work in unfamiliar circumstances - a surgery with minimal equipment, an understaffed hospital, a clinic for leprosy or tuberculosis patients for example.

Veterinary Medicine Abroad
Whether you are a pre-university student considering a career in veterinary medicine or veterinary nursing, an undergraduate or a graduate - working as a veterinary volunteer you could get involved in vaccinations, operations, laboratory work, post-mortems, meat inspections and the routine treatment of domestic farm animals and pets.
Shadowing local vets in practice will give you a real insight into the way they work in developing countries. You may also come into contact with diseases that have been eradicated in the West, and will understand better the problems that vets and farmers are faced with in developing countries and rural areas.
If you have an interest in more exotic species, a placement in an animal resue centre in Mexico gives you hands on work with huge variety. This can be undertaken by non-veterinary students as well.
