The adoption of a high-sugar western-style diet in The Philippines means that on your medical internship, you’ll engage with a range of related cases, such as hypertension and cardiac arrest cases, even in young people. You can also take part in a two-week program in anesthesiology. Furthermore, from being ‘cooked alive’ in a Kawa hot bath or going whale-watching off Cebu's coast, you’ll find there’s no shortage of unique experiences to be had in The Philippines.
