It’s fairly early days before I really need to make decisions about my elective (which is at the end of my fourth year) but I thought earlier is better than later as many people have warned that some places fill up 18 months in advance.
I think I’ll be travelling solo (female) and would prefer somewhere middle-highly developed and safe. Languages, unfortunately are not my strong suit and I would prefer if it could be someone mostly English-speaking so as to get the most out of it. However I am also concerned about the cost, though I have mostly decided on going abroad for 4 weeks and back in the UK for the rest.
So far I think Malta might be a good fit. Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand also interest me but I am little worried about the cost. Does anyone else have any suggestions? I think I’m ruling out China, as I’ve been to many hospitals there several times.
Edit: I’m particularly interested in paediatrics and anaesthetics
