Go Elective offers medical students, premed undergraduates, and medical practitioners a unique opportunity to explore healthcare delivery in Africa. Our longstanding collaboration with local treatment centers and training institutions abroad gives our participants exceptional access to mentorship, and supervised hands-on experience in busy, underresourced hospitals. They also get a chance to travel, explore and volunteer.
As healthcare advocates, committed to training and universal healthcare access, we organize end-to-end medical electives, medical internships, nursing, surgery clerkships, pre-dentistry programs, PA internships abroad, public health, and pre-med shadowing experiences in public and private hospitals in East Africa.
We help you choose your ideal destination and departments, receive pre-trip support, get round-the-clock in-country support, and indulge in private, catered accommodation.
Global health issues such as malaria, tuberculosis, COVID-19, HIV, and resistance to antibiotics have made us believe in the transformative power of gaining firsthand insights into global health. We welcome premed undergraduates, medical students, and aspiring medical professionals on an enriching learning journey beyond the classroom, where you'll gain invaluable insights, make lasting connections, and contribute to the advancement of global healthcare.
Africa is breathtaking, with its expansive grasslands, enchanting wildlife, and vibrant cultures offering a remarkable backdrop for your placement abroad experience. Go Elective Safaris provides all our medical interns, volunteers abroad, undergraduate medical interns, and students in our prehealth shadowing programs abroad an opportunity to experience it all! You can also come with your family members on the safari.

Witnessing the struggles of healthcare workers trying to provide quality care with minimal resources was truly humbling. It made me realize how privileged we are in the UK and how much more needs to be done globally to ensure access to healthcare for all.

Working with a skilled surgeon was incredible, but the real highlight was the eye-opening experience at the Coast General Hospital. It humbled me and showed me the impact that the medical profession can have worldwide.
Matthew O'Donnell, Medical Elective
Coming from the structured and well-equipped healthcare system in the USA, it was eye-opening to see the realities of healthcare in Africa. In one rural clinic, we encountered patients waiting for hours to receive basic medical attention.
