Hospitals

Our Caribbean medicine work experience programme in St. Lucia offers students the chance to gain work experience shadowing doctors in a tropical setting. We work with the island's largest Government-run hospital, giving students the opportunity to experience a range of medical environments that affect the work of today’s doctors.

We recommend that students split their time between different hospital departments in order to have a more rounded, and indeed interesting, placement. Our UK team will work with you to help you decide which areas of the hospital you would like to be placed in so we can provide you with a medical placement that best suits your interests .

Our partner hospital is within easy travelling distance from the Gap Medics house. The doctors who act as student mentors are highly respected within the community and proud to be part of our international education programmes. Their wealth of experience makes them ideal leaders for our bespoke clinical teaching sessions that our students attend three afternoons a week.
