They offer you the possibility of an insight into medicine in a different culture, whether you are planning on becoming a doctor, a nurse or a midwife, this organization will became your number one priority for this summer.

Med school requirements are complex and can sometimes be overwhelming. With competition now so fierce for places, many applicants are trying to gain as much stand out experience as possible. Premed volunteering is definitely something that can not only help you stand out on applications, it can also help you decide if a career in medicine is for you and give you a head start at medical school. Premed volunteering with Gap Medics can be undertaken in 4 countries. India, Tanzania, Thailand or St Lucia in The Caribbean.

Typically students choose premed volunteering programs for anything from 2-week to 4-weeks but students can also choose to spend longer should they have the time too.

Students all live together in private houses ran and maintained exclusively for Gap Medics students and all students on placement live together with other premed volunteering students. A large part of the experience is meeting other students from all over the world in exactly the same situation as you!

The local personnel of the organization will be waiting for you at the airport to drive you to the guesthouse in which you are going to live.
