It is a fact that students who are interested in pursuing a career as a doctor, nurse, midwife or dentist need to ensure that they have something in their university application that makes them stand out from the rest.

Of course they can talk about their interest in medicine, their desire to help humanity, and the rest. But most applicants do this. There needs to be something more.

And the best “something more”, the ideal way to make an application stand out, is to include as much work experience as possible and to show a commitment to learning as much as possible about their desired future career as a doctor, nurse, midwife or dentist.

Furthermore, this then naturally generates extra talking points for the interview.

It is with this in mind that we have built our work experience placements for students aged between 16-25 and interested in a medical career. The destinations for the placements include Tanzania, Croatia, Poland and Thailand.

Students are assigned their own mentor and will attend three global health tutorials a week run by local doctors and healthcare professionals. These tutorials will help them to have a deeper understanding of healthcare, including socio-economic factors that affect treatment within the country.

If you have students this year who are interested in a career in medicine, please ask them to take a look at our website at www.gapmedics.com.

Alternatively they can call us on 0044 191 603 1111 or email us at info@gapmedics.com and we’ll send them a brochure in the post.
