Bridgetown

Bridgetown

Art, music, night life friendly locals who proudly call themselves Bajans, and a rich history make this small colourful country one of the highlights of the Caribbean region and we pride ourselves for having our medical and nursing electives here in this country.

A typical day, if you were to choose this location, would be hospital work followed by relaxing afternoons at some quiet beach enjoying sunsets, which will leave you speechless, or just exploring around with one of our specially tailored tours.

Come join us for your elective and experience this paradise island.

Your accommodation here is private and in a great location near to your elective placement. A member of our team will always be available if you need anything, 24 hours a day.

We have partnered with major hospitals and smaller clinics here, public and private, and we are certain that you will get the most of your medical or nursing elective with us.

Elective

Medical Elective

If you decide to join Mundo Verde in Barbados for your medical elective you will gain a unique life and work experience. You will be working in large hospitals and smaller clinics here to give you a diverse experience of how the healthcare system works here. Work side by side shadowing the local doctors and help them issue medicine. You may see some illnesses that you haven’t experienced before giving you vital knowledge for your future career. You will usually be working in the morning and then free in the afternoon, allowing you time to enjoy this beautiful place and perhaps some snorkeling or the tours we have arranged for you.

Nursing Elective

Barbados is a wonderful location for your Mundo Verde nursing elective as it is a great balance of work and enjoying your surroundings. You will get different experiences as we take you to large hospitals as well as small clinics. This gives you the advantage of experiencing different types of healthcare and methods used by the doctors and nurses. You will also likely get to help them and work hands on in some cases. The local doctors are very friendly, so you should enjoy working in your new environment. In the afternoon take time to explore your new surroundings and go on some of the tours we have tailor made for you.
