YOUR ELECTIVE<br />
VILLAGE<br />
HEALTHCARE EXPERIENCES<br />
THE PHILIPPINES, NEPAL, VIETNAM,<br />
CAMBODIA, GHANA, ZAMBIA & TANZANIA<br />
As part of your overseas elective, you have<br />
the option to add-on an extra week where<br />
you’ll experience the indigenous culture<br />
of your destination on a once-in-a-lifetime<br />
Village Healthcare Experience.<br />
We will take you to an outlying village where<br />
you’ll spend the week with a rural community<br />
who will teach you the local way of life, which<br />
means everything from learning to cook local<br />
specialities to milking cows and beekeeping.<br />
In the mornings you’ll undertake a placement<br />
alongside trained professionals in rural health<br />
outposts, where you could see anything from<br />
routine vaccinations to tribal hunting injuries.<br />
Your afternoons will be filled with culture and<br />
adventure with opportunities like hiking to<br />
hidden Buddhist monasteries and joining in<br />
tribal dances.<br />
AYURVEDIC MEDICINE<br />
EXPERIENCE<br />
SRI LANKA<br />
Our bases in Sri Lanka offer something extra<br />
special. If you manage to secure a place you’ll<br />
have the chance trek into the wilderness to<br />
a remote village and learn Ayurveda - the<br />
ancient art of tree medicine.<br />
Living within a rural setting will give you<br />
genuine insight into community traditions and<br />
the local way of life.<br />
In the mornings you’ll undertake a placement<br />
with the healer to treat ailments by creating<br />
medicines from plants and barks found in<br />
the jungle.<br />
Your afternoons here will be busy with cultural<br />
activities like ox and cart rides, swimming in<br />
a local lake at sunset, and enjoying a full body<br />
massage at an Ayurveda spa.<br />
