Medforce in Cambodia

Happy Friday everyone, hope you all have thrilling weekends planned.

Today’s blog looks at Medforce and some exciting new developments for the brand.

Our MD Marcus Watts is currently out in Cambodia visiting medical and dental facilities looking for exciting opportunities for medical elective students.

We are already enjoying tremendous success with our placements in South Africa, India and Ecuador not to mention our Physiotherapy course in Ghana.

However such is the success of Medforce we now are struggling to find places for everyone hence why Marcus is out in Cambodia looking for ways of increasing the number of places we can offer.

If you are a medical student looking for an elective placement and you’d like to find out more about how we can help, click here to get in touch.

Our current placements can be viewed here.

Get Qualified On Your Gap Year

A gap year is all about meeting new people, experiencing new things and expanding your horizons. It’s also a great time to gain qualifications that will enhance your university application and CV.

Why not look at making your gap year expedition applicable to what you are or will be studying? For example if you are interested in Marine Biology why not look at Greenforce’s projects in Fiji or The Bahamas?

If animal/wildlife conservation is more you’re type of thing then why not volunteer at a Panda Sanctuary in China or with Elephants in Thailand?

Another alternative is to actually participate in an expedition that has a qualification at the end. For example becoming an expedition leader or a ski instructor.

Whatever you do, make the most of your gap year, it really is the opportunity of a lifetime.
