Shadow Doctors, Nurses, Dentists or Midwives Abroad!

Students will shadow highly skilled health professionals at our dedicated partner hospitals in Asia, Africa or Europe. On top of shadowing in the wards and operating rooms of a variety of exciting hospital departments, students will immerse themselves in the study of global health and gain first-hand experience for their applications and interviews.
