What Med Trips is all about
Os especialistas em estágios médicos no estrangeiro. Desde 2007 organizamos colocações hospitalares supervisionadas — experiência clínica que conta, com seguro médico, supervisor designado e a documentação de aprovação da tua universidade incluídos.
Real clinical experience, abroad
A Med Trips existe porque organizar sozinho uma colocação hospitalar no estrangeiro é difícil da pior maneira: emails sem resposta, supervisão pouco clara e papelada que a tua universidade não aceita. Organizamos colocações de saúde supervisionadas desde 2007, e a Med Trips é a divisão especializada criada para fazer uma coisa excecionalmente bem — experiência clínica no estrangeiro que conta.
Cada estágio inclui um supervisor designado, rotações acordadas antes de voares, seguro médico e a documentação de aprovação que a tua universidade realmente pede — tudo a um preço claro, com o depósito de reserva deduzido do valor total do programa.
Escolhemos a dedo os hospitais e clínicas com que trabalhamos — hospitais públicos, hospitais universitários, clínicas comunitárias e postos de saúde rurais em 12 países — e com muitos colaboramos há anos. As colocações são estruturadas para serem úteis para ambos os lados: observação e assistência dentro do teu nível de formação, com profissionais locais que escolhem ensinar.

What sets us apart
Os especialistas em colocações no estrangeiro: supervisão com nome, papelada que a tua universidade aceita e um preço claro — aperfeiçoado ao longo de milhares de colocações.
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.
From a single placement to thousands
The group was founded to bridge the gap between students and communities abroad, placing its first participants on a project in India.
Starting from India and Nepal, programmes extended worldwide — to Peru, Costa Rica and Ecuador, and African countries like Ghana, South Africa and Tanzania.
The group joined the WYSE Travel Confederation and attended its international conference in Spain — raising the bar for responsible student travel.
Won the prestigious GoAbroad Innovation Award for technological advancement, letting participants manage their trip from any device.
A major milestone — more than 10,000 students placed within a span of eight years.
A decade in the industry, with new structured placement and experience programmes introduced.
Expanding the overseas footprint, a UK company and office were established to serve UK and EU students.
The group joined the Year Out Group (YOG) in the UK, an association of approved gap-year and placement organisations.
Launch of Med Trips — the group’s dedicated medical-electives brand. The Impact Explorers Group won the Ethical, Responsible & Sustainable Tourism Award at the British Youth Travel Awards 2025.
