Our medical elective program offers a 6-week minimum placement, allowing students to be involved first-hand in a setting very different to their home countries. Places are limited – three students at any one time: two in Tansen and one in Okhaldhunga. This allows for a more comprehensive and productive learning experience.

We arrange* the following:

• Airport pick-up
• Booking initial accommodation in Kathmandu
• Transport to Tansen or Okhaldhunga
• Accommodation on or very near the hospital compound
• An orientation tour of the hospital
• Basic cultural awareness information

 
*Students are expected to cover all personal costs including travel to and from Tansen/ Okhaldhunga, food, accommodation costs and visa, as well as a USD 250 registration fee to cover the administrative and training costs of the elective programme.
