Description
Tanzania medical elective Project unlike any other medical elective offered in Tanzania and all over Africa is unique in a sense that it offers hands on experience and real practical experience. Students get to feel exactly how it feels when they have finally reached professional levels of their medical careers. Tanzania medical elective doesn’t emphasize on students putting themselves into physician’s shoes because the program itself already put a student into practical experience of a physician. This is one of the reasons as to why most international medical students prefer to do their medical elective in Tanzania and Internship and this has also been a trend with Medical Internship in Tanzania Medical Elective Specialties in Tanzania • Pediatrics • Internal medicine • Neurology • Dermatology • Oncology • Gastroenterology • Ophthalmology • Urology • Otorhinolaryngology • Obstetrics and gynecology • Cardiology • Psychiatry • Orthopedics • Emergency medicine • Rheumatology • Radiology • Anesthesiology • Geriatric medicine • Endocrinology • Pathology • Hematology • Neurosurgery Accommodation HOME STAY ACCOMMODATION Living is basic but all the Home Stays have electricity and running water and accommodate volunteers in safe and secure homes (some rural home stays may not have electricity or running water during times of drought). All home stays have been inspected thoroughly by local staff and chosen because of their safety and security. Most volunteers love their home stays and feel that they get a more authentic Tanzanian experience by staying there. VOLUNTEER HOUSE The Volunteer House is a western-style house with 6 bedrooms (all shared accommodations with bunk beds). It has 2 bathrooms with western-style toilets and occasional hot water for showers. The house also includes one double bedroom, and this room is generally reserved for married couples. The house is safe and secure, with a security guard and a large gate. In the volunteer house, there is a cook who cooks the meals for the volunteers. (Please note that spaces in the volunteer house are very limited and can only accommodate 18 to 24 people). Food & Beverages Meals: You will be provided with 2 meals daily. Breakfasts generally consist of Chai (tea), toast, cereal, fruit and mandazzi (deep fried dough). Dinner usually sees traditional food such as ugali, chapatti, boga and irio accompany the meat and vegetables.
