We employ a fully qualified nurse who is Nepalese and has experience working in the UK to support you throughout your placement. She will answer all your questions about the many different cases you see in Nepal. Opportunities available in medical, nursing, midwifery, dentistry, physiotherapy, radiography, pharmacy and more. Trek in the Himalayas or relax by Pokhara lake on your days off.
Taking a medical elective abroad can be an extremely enriching experience for anyone studying medicine or other health-related subjects. Students are placed at a local hospital in Pokhara, where you will have the opportunity to work with health professionals in a variety of different departments.
You will learn about conditions that are rarely seen in hospitals in Western Europe, including snake bites, HIV, respiratory infections, TB, typhoid and many others. You will observe alternative methods of treatment and rehabilitation as you experience healthcare in a developing country first hand.
