Biomedical Science Internship Reviews

"I spent two weeks in A&E. It was so eye-opening in terms of approaches to healthcare in a low-resource setting".

"Finally, I believe the main benefit of undertaking my placement overseas was the privilege of seeing procedures I have never seen in Australia, like open-heart surgery and brain surgery".

"I was able to see some oral cancers at the OMF clinic which was useful as I had been taught what they might look like but I had never seen any cases in real life."

"I have had an amazing placement in Nepal, which has given me a real insight into how healthcare is practised here. I will take many lessons away from this experience."

"On placement, I learned how thermoplastic splints were made - they melted and moulded down PVC material to make splints which I thought was such an innovative idea".
