Gap Medics is an organisation for sixth form students to have the chance to visit countries like Africa, India and more. If your interested in a career in medicine, or just to help others, this is an amazing experience!
The moment I was told about this in college, it was ALL I could think about! I've already started saving up any penny I could get my hands on! (news flash- the cheapest trip costs about £800 for a week!)
I was a little put off once I started to tot up the price and found out I had to save up £2000 to go to Tanzania. But at the end of the day, it's a life changing experience!
Gap Medics-Tanzania, allows you to travel over there and volunteer at their local hospital. You will meet loads of other students just as dedicated (and nervous) as you are. You will shadow some of the most hard working doctors and learn about common problems they will face on a daily basis. Even more exciting;18+ students would get to observe surgeries! Live and in person! So it's safe to say, this trip is not for the squeamish!
If the whole 'doing it for others' or 'being a better person' thing isn't quite convincing you to take an opportunity like this, consider how amazing it could look on your CV or your UCAS!? I certainly have!
The best thing about this trip is, you can go whenever you like. (In the school's holidays though of course!) You can organise it to suit you, be it be- once you have saved up your money, or just because your school holidays are boring. (like mine)
If you are as excited about the idea of this as I was then go strait to this link to find out more! :http://www.gapmedics.co.uk/?gclid=CNHk76__2rICFYXJtAod_xcA9Q
