While in Kandy, Medical you'll have every chance to experience low-resource healthcare in a developing country first-hand.
Work the World's partner hospital houses a range of departments participants can work in, which include general surgery, ICU and OBG. There's also the opportunity to live in a rural Sri Lankan village, learning the ancient art of Ayurveda, in which tree barks, oils, and herbs are all used to create medicine.
Outside of the placement experience, you'll find Sri Lanka brimming with adventure: with everything from ancient ruins and temples to pro-surfing beaches.
