Medical Elective

A medical elective at the Craniofacial Center Nepal in Janakpur offers a distinctive opportunity to experience healthcare delivery in a setting markedly different from the NHS. Students and trainees have the chance to observe and participate in the management of complex craniofacial conditions within a resource-limited environment, gaining insight into clinical decision-making that relies heavily on clinical skills, adaptability, and multidisciplinary collaboration. The placement also provides the opportunity to engage with local clinicians who are deeply committed to patient care despite infrastructural challenges.

Beyond the clinical experience, the elective allows participants to travel to Nepal and immerse themselves in the cultural, social, and linguistic diversity of the Janakpur region. This combination of unique clinical exposure and cultural enrichment makes the elective a valuable opportunity for anyone seeking to broaden their understanding of global health systems and deepen their appreciation of international medical practice.
