Radiography

Your placement

Due to the specalized nature of this discipline, a radiography or radiology internship has less options than, for example, a medical placement. Nevertheless you are still able to be quite specific with us about the type of clinical setting in which you would like to be placed. We will work with you tailor your experience to individual needs and requirements - a huge benefit of booking with a specialist organization.

All our radiography internship students are designated a preceptor/supervisor who will be their main point of contact.  We ensure that this person is a senior member of the department that you are working in, and that they understand what you expect from your placement.  Just as importantly, we also inform them of what they can expect from you!

Benefits of the program

A Work the World placement enhances and broadens a radiography student’s training while offering firsthand exposure to global health issues. Working with doctors and radiography teams in a developing country will enrich and empower both your personal and professional development.

Though the cost of a Work the World radiography placement may be similar to the cost of an independently organized placement, our program minimizes or removes nearly all the risks involved. First, we provide accommodation, meals and purified drinking water in a safe, secure and hygienic setting at our Work the World house. You’ll also receive the support there of our full-time staff, who are practiced at assisting international students.

We are able to offer a high-caliber clinical experience. Due to our solid relationships with our partner hospitals, radiography teams there are open to your presence and involvement, and happy to supervise students. Additionally, many of the language and cultural barriers that hamper the foreign worker are diminished by our staff’s experience in working with internationals, and our language classes.

Broaden your Experience

In each of our destination we have a sullpement programs which is designed to complement and greatly enrich your placement experiences. Many former students have found them to be the highlight of their placement time.
