Summer Gap Year Volunteer Healthcare Work

Looking to get some gap year experience of healthcare next summer? Gap year volunteer work experience placements for students considering a career in healthcare may be exactly what you’ve been looking for to have a memorable summer! For many students the summer months cannot come around quickly enough! Many then find though that doing very little for weeks on end isn’t all its made out to be! What if you could spend your summer gap year volunteering in a hospital In India or perhaps rural Tanzania or even the palm-fringed islands of Saint Lucia in the Caribbean?

A summer volunteer placement abroad with Gap Medics is the best way to prepare you for any university course that involves healthcare. Choose from gap year destinations including Tanzania, India or the Caribbean and then let Gap Medics help you plan a placement that will give you that cutting edge in university interviews and an eye-opening look at tropical healthcare.

A Gap Medics gap year volunteer placement can run anything from 2 weeks to 12 weeks depending on how long you wish to stay and you can choose any weekend to travel and arrive into one of our destinations as we have students arriving every weekend. This flexibility gives you tremendous possibilities and what better way to spend those long summer months than undertaking some summer volunteer gap year work with Gap Medics?

Taking a gap year working in local Hospital during the week, living in our very own Gap Medics house with other students and travelling together at weekends, you will get to experience life as a healthcare professional to see if a career in that area appeals to you whilst also obtaining the healthcare related work experience you need to apply and be successful in many of these university degrees. Demonstrating to a medical interview panel that in your summer holidays you didn’t just go abroad for 2 weeks with your friends to Ibiza but instead volunteered your summer months to work and learn in a Hospital goes a long way to demonstrating that you are serious about pursuing a career in healthcare.

The summer months in all the houses are by far the most popular times for students to travel with us and from May- September the houses are always at capacity. If leaving it late, it’s still worth giving us a call just to see if we can arrange something relatively last minute for you, after all you never know!

After returning home you will have learnt valuable gap year skills to take into your future career in healthcare not to mention the international friends and travelling experiences to take with you too!
