We'll guide you through all your preparations for the trip, and you'll always have the option to reach out to us via phone or email.
Once you've been enrolled to the program, you'll receive a preparation guide that thoroughly explains the various things to coordinate before your placement start. This includes travel vaccinations, entry visa, and more. The guide also includes a suggested packing list to ensure you're best possible prepared.
Additionally, you'll be invited to a Facebook group with all the other participants for your chosen placement period.
About a month before your placement begins, we'll further invite you and the other participants to an online pre-placement meeting to address any remaining questions before departure.
We've established a secure framework for placements to enhance your learning and well-being during the internship.
Upon arrival at your chosen destination's airport, our team will greet you and safely transport you to the Try Medics house, where you'll stay with fellow participants throughout your placement. There, you'll meet our dedicated program manager, who has already coordinated your internship and ensures a proper introduction to the hospital and mentors.
The program manager will be present daily, prioritizing your well-being and learning outcomes. Alongside the manager, our team includes chefs, cleaning staff, activity coordinators, and drivers, all ready to support you. They create ideal conditions for you and your fellow participants to solely focus on your hospital internship and overall experience.

Your first Monday on the program will consist of an orientation day at the hospital and a tour of the town where you'll be staying. After this, your internship at your assigned department will start on Tuesday.
You and your fellow participants will stay in Try Medics' house at your chosen destination.
Typically, participants on our program are within the age of 18-24, coming from various countries around the world.
What unites everyone is the shared interest in the field of healthcare, creating a small community of like-minded young individuals embarking on a journey of personal and career development.
Living with others who share the same interests is always enjoyable, and we often witness strong bonds quickly forming among participants. We can confidently say it's perfectly safe to go on the placement alone!
Our houses feature spacious gardens, great relaxation spots, common areas, and self-contained rooms with bunk beds.
Additionally, there's Wi-Fi available, although the speed might not be as fast as what you're accustomed to in your country.
Whether you want to bask in the garden sun or engage in a card game with your fellow participants, there are plenty of opportunities, all centered around your hospital internship.
Your safety is our highest priority. For many, it is their first encounter with Africa, which can feel overwhelming. Try Medics destinations are generally safe and located in calm areas. The Try Medics houses provide secure accommodations with round-the-clock security guards.
Additionally, we closely monitor travel advisories from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and local news at our destinations to ensure that our internships are conducted under safe and responsible conditions.
