Your internship
The first Monday of your placement is an orientation day where you will be shown around the hospital and city you will be living in. Your internship at your assigned department will start the day after.
Housing
Living with people who share the same interest as one is always fun. All our houses have large gardens, cool places for relaxation and plenty of space to socialize with your fellow Try Medics students. Whether you want to sunbathe in the garden or play a fun game on the veranda there is ample opportunity for both. There is wifi and tv in the houses so you can do movie nights and stay in contact with those at home! We experience strong bonds and new friendships for life being made among students. It’s therefore safe to go on the program alone!
Food
During your placement our dedicated chefs will make morning and evening meals for you. They will cook local meals but there will also be room for a burger or other homely food in between. If you have dietary requirements the chefs will do their best to fulfill them. Just let us know when you sign up.
Security
Your safety is our highest priority. Many meet Africa for the first time which can be overwhelming. Try Medics destinations are generally safe and quiet areas. Try Medics houses provides a safe framework with security guards around the clock.
