Who we are

Real clinical experience, abroad

Med Trips bestaat omdat zelf een ziekenhuisstage in het buitenland regelen op alle verkeerde manieren moeilijk is: onbeantwoorde e-mails, onduidelijke begeleiding en papierwerk dat je universiteit niet accepteert. Wij regelen sinds 2007 begeleide zorgstages, en Med Trips is de specialistische divisie die één ding uitzonderlijk goed doet — klinische ervaring in het buitenland die telt.

Elke stage komt met een vaste supervisor, rotaties die vóór vertrek zijn afgesproken, medische verzekering en de goedkeuringsdocumenten waar je universiteit echt om vraagt — alles voor één duidelijke prijs, met je aanbetaling afgetrokken van je totale programmaprijs.

We kiezen de ziekenhuizen en klinieken waarmee we werken zelf uit — overheidsziekenhuizen, opleidingsziekenhuizen, gemeenschapsklinieken en plattelandsposten in 12 landen — en met veel ervan werken we al jaren samen. Plaatsingen zijn zo opgezet dat beide kanten er iets aan hebben: meelopen en assisteren binnen jouw opleidingsniveau, onder lokale professionals die graag lesgeven.

What makes us different

What sets us apart

De specialisten in buitenlandse plaatsingen: begeleiding met een naam, papierwerk dat je universiteit accepteert en één duidelijke prijs — verfijnd over duizenden plaatsingen.

17+ years of experience

Since 2007 the group has placed thousands of students in structured placements worldwide — longevity built on quality, safety and trusted hospital partnerships.

UK-based headquarters

A UK-registered, UK-headquartered company operating with transparency, strong quality standards and a student-first approach.

Trusted hospital network

We work with established teaching hospitals, government clinics and university partners across our destinations — long-standing relationships behind every placement.

In-house coordinators

We do not outsource everything — in-house coordinators and local partner teams ensure consistent quality and reliable day-to-day support.

Transparent pricing

Straightforward pricing with no hidden fees — covering accommodation, meals where applicable, orientation and on-ground support.

24/7 in-country support

Local coordinators and partner teams provide round-the-clock support during your placement — from airport pickup to emergency assistance.

Structured electives

Every elective is built with clear objectives, supervision and defined roles — real clinical exposure, not just observation.

University partnerships

We collaborate with universities and medical schools worldwide — many students earn academic credit or join tailored group electives through us.
