Why should you encourage your aspiring medical students to visit Thailand, Croatia, Poland or Tanzania this summer?

It is important that students are given a break from their studies from time to time, not least to reignite their passion for their chosen subject/s.

And in no subject area is this more important than with those students who wish to go on to study medicine.

With Gap Medics, aspiring medical students can indeed enjoy a break from their academic studies this summer holidays whilst at the same time gaining valuable work experience in their desired medical profession.

They will be given the opportunity to shadow real life dentists, midwives, nurses or doctors in one of four locations: Thailand, Croatia, Poland or Tanzania – which will certainly set them apart from the rest when applying to the university of their choice.

The 2015 summer placements, which students can start on any Sunday of their school holidays, provide students over the age of 16 with 23+ hours per week of invaluable hospital work experience.

Gap Medics ensures that the students’ experience is tailored to their career aspirations. They will be assigned to relevant departments, depending on their interests, and will be matched with a mentor who will guide them through their time in the hospital, explaining each case in detail.

Popular departments include paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology, surgery and internal medicine; however we also offer opportunities in smaller, more specialist departments.

So far over 1,500 students have signed up for a Gap Medics programme this summer, representing over 1,100 schools, colleges and universities.

It’s not too late for your students to sign up and gain some unforgettable hospital work experience this summer which will set them apart from the rest.

If you have any students who are interested in a career in medicine, please either forward this email on to them or ask them to take a look at www.gapmedics.co.uk/summer-2015-hospital-work-experience
