Gap Medics - When is the best time?

I turned 15 in June and I am away to start 4th Year in Scotland. I am interested in doing a 2 week placement with Gap Medics next summer when I am 16. My school runs a World Challenge scheme which I will have the opportunity to do when I am 17 in the summer of 2018. I would like to do Gap Medics next summer and my World Challenge the year after. Is 16 years old too young for Gap Medics?

No, 16 is a very good age to apply for a Gap medics experience!
Have you thought about where you want to go yet?

I'm considering going on an expedition although I'm not sure where to go yet!

That's excellent! I personally wouldn't want to go so far away from home so I will probably consider the Warsaw, Poland expedition. I like urban, colourful places so Warsaw seems like the obvious choice for me!
I'm thinking about taking part in either medicine or dentistry. I'm sure it will be great :biggrin:
