Pre-Placement Panic! International Electives
from The Operating List Hosted by ASSA
Thinking about taking your elective overseas? In this episode of Pre-Placement Panic, Gihwan and Amy sit down with two final-year medical students who have already taken the leap and completed international electives. We chat about what it’s actually like stepping into a completely different healthcare system, from unfamiliar diseases and limited resources to culture shock, language barriers and moments where you suddenly realise just how different medicine can look outside Australia. They also reflect on the ethical side of overseas electives, what they learned about privilege and patient care, and the experiences that stayed with them long after they came home. Plus, plenty of practical advice for anyone wondering where to go, what to expect and whether an international elective is really worth it!
