Our Service

We plan, build and oversee affordable overseas medical electives with zero compromises on quality. But what does affordable actually mean?

Live in exotic locations throughout Africa, Asia and Latin America. Strengthen your resume with completely unique clinical experience in your field. Build your confidence and communication skills in new environments. Make friends and new contacts from all over the world.

We think an overseas placement with Work the World represents an exceptionally good deal. But what do you actually get for your money?

If you’re struggling to get your friends organised for an overseas clinical placement, why not just go by yourself?

Getting all the pieces of an overseas placement into position is a challenge. Luckily, we've built an online tool that removes much of the hassle from the process. Read more to find out more about what it can do.

Some of you won’t have conversational Spanish. So, we’ve partnered with language schools in both Peru and Mexico to develop a one-week Intensive Spanish Course focusing on clinical words and phrases you’ll use on placement.

It’s one thing reading what we have to say about the benefits of interprofessional learning, but it’s another to hear it from the people living the experience. We caught up with a group of our students in Nepal to find out more.

A huge part of the service we offer is the on-the-ground support our in-country teams provide. Read more about it in this post.

As the title suggests, this post outlines how Work the World will plan your perfect overseas placement, step by step.

Here's everything you need to know about what you can expect when living in one of our houses while overseas.
