Two-Week Doctor Shadowing Programs for Pre-Med & Pre-Health Students
The Global Pre-Meds program provides opportunities for aspiring medical and healthcare students to shadow doctors on structured internships in working hospitals in the Caribbean. The clinical experience and cultural exposure this provides can be a valuable step on the journey to a medical career.
The safety of students and patients is our top priority. Our revered mentoring system provides a personalised learning experience with students under constant professional supervision from medical doctors, as well as meaningful recommendation letters for medical school applications.
Our programs are residential, with students from around the world living together in our own purpose-designed and fully-catered guesthouses to create a supportive sociable environment. Our friendly local teams are on hand 24 hours a day, and are passionate about bringing people together for the adventure of a lifetime as part of the Global Pre-Meds family.
We offer a University Program for students aged 18 and over, and a dedicated High School Program with increased supervision for 16-18 year olds.
