Unlike our competitors, Gap Medics specialise in clinical experiences, offering 24/7 support both in the UK and overseas, as well as intensive pre-placement training and limited positions. We give you an opportunity to get real experience and learn about healthcare in the developing world. You will witness a wide variety of clinical cases and perhaps most importantly see what it feels like to work in a medical environment.

Many universities feel that students who take time out to travel, earn money or get experience, are often more mature than school leavers, it makes sense to combine gap year fun with the chance to stand out from the crowd.

Requirements

Aspiring medical and nursing students with a real interest in the issues effecting global healthcare.
