I've already graduated, can I still go?

Yes you can. Whether you're newly qualified or you’ve been practicing for a few years, you can still go on a once-in-a-lifetime overseas placement.

You’ll get exactly the same level of trip customisation as everyone else. You may even get more choice, depending on your level of experience.

You choose the destination you want to travel to and the departments you want to get experience in, and we’ll build your perfect placement.

GET EYE-OPENING CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

Highfield MatthewYou can choose from a huge range of hospitals and departments when planning your placement with us: Teaching hospitals, regional hospitals, large government hospitals, tertiary referral centres, specialist hospitals, small rural health posts… The choice is yours.

And when you’re on placement you’ll get invaluable experience with some of the world’s most pressing global health issues. You’ll also see:

  • Different cultural attitudes towards care
  • Religious beliefs affecting practice
  • Patients who can’t afford even the most basic treatment
  • Extremely late presentations and advanced conditions

You also have complete flexibility when it comes to shift patterns. You can undertake day shifts, night shifts, or both.

Work the World Houses

HOUSE

You’ll live in an exclusive, private fully-catered house for the duration of your trip. 

You’ll live with a mix of fellow healthcare students and graduates. But you’re all together for the same reason. So over the weeks you’ll meet new people and form bonds, making professional contacts for life.

You get a premium, specialised experience with our team-run houses. You’ll live in safety and comfort the whole time you’re with us. And the house will feel like your home away from home.

You even get in-house chefs, a housekeeper, and a 24-hour security team for your peace of mind.

Travelling Solo?

Are you planning on travelling by yourself? You have nothing to worry about — the vast majority of graduates who visit our programs do just that. And you’ll meet plenty of new people in the Work the World house.

You can also rely on the Work the World in-country team to look out for you while you’re overseas. They work from a base in the house and will be there as and when you need them, both in and out of the hospital.

But you can certainly plan a trip with your friends or colleagues too. Just be mindful that programs have limited spaces. You should try to enquire as early as you can so that you get the greatest possible choice.

MAKE UNFORGETTABLE TRAVEL MEMORIES

Your clinical placement is the focus of your trip. Wherever you choose, adventure awaits. 

In your free time in the afternoons and weekends will be packed full of experiences like:

  • Relaxing on palm-lined, white-sand beaches
  • Getting close to elephants, lions and giraffes on safari
  • Swimming with curious sea turtles on warm tropical reefs
  • Hiking (or paragliding!) through the Himalayas
  • Spending a weekend hopping between paradise islands
