A medical elective in Europe offers hospital exposure without a language barrier or long-haul travel. Med Trips is based in Athens, Greece — open to pre-med, medical, nursing and pre-dental students who want European clinical experience in an English-friendly setting.

Your placement includes a named supervisor, accommodation, medical insurance and university sign-off support, and runs flexibly from 1 to 12 weeks. Greece is a popular summer option and easy to combine with travel around the Mediterranean — a low-barrier introduction to an overseas elective.
