Medical Projects Reviews 166

One of the best experiences of my life, I spent 2 weeks in Medical Projects Tanzania. Everything is so thoroughly planned all you have to do is show up with the best intentions and you will have an amazing time (there is of course time for spontaneity as well). I learnt so much about what goes on behind the scenes of a hospital, something I couldn't have learnt anywhere else, and I'm so grateful for this opportunity. If you're considering medicine I cannot recommend this experice enough, you will go into university well-prepared and levelheaded, no doubt.

I couldn’t have wished for a better experience at Project Kilimanjaro! Met the most amazing people and learnt so much. Couldn’t reccomend this trip enough!

I went on Project Kilimanjaro. To sum it up, it was probably the best holiday/learning experience I have had. I really enjoyed doing it met new friends who were great and the staff were very excellent too. I regret one thing and that is not going for 2 weeks, you have to do at least 2 to get the whole experience. LOVED IT and I would 100% recommend it.

It was amazing
The experience was fantastic with great people managing the entire experience. It really broadened my outlook for the future. The week was well planned and thought out so credit to the organisers. I would thoroughly recommend the experience to anyone who would be interested. A big thank you to the medical projects team.

Project Kilimanjaro was, although daunting at first, an invaluable and rewarding experience that I will always cherish. You will meet friends for life and will be supported by the fantastic staff throughout your entire experience. The shadowing undertaken at the hospital allows students to witness firsthand the detrimental effects that tropical diseases, which remain endemic in Tanzania, have on patients. Out with the hospital, the project strikes the perfect balance between downtime and further clinical teaching. I’m privileged to have spent time in Tanzania and would happily do it again!

Project London was the most rewarding and fun experience ever. It made me secure that Medicine is what i want to do. I made some excellent friends from all over the world, and after a few hours, everyone was chatting and we suddenly clicked.

The team at Medical Projects London were friendly, funny and supportive. It was an excellent opportunity to speak to Junior Doctors and get a thorough insight into a week at medical school.

I just wish the project lasted longer :)

Thanks so much for the Great inspiration and confidence you have given to my daughter.This project is a 100% recommended.

I had an amazing time in the london placement, learnt a lot and got a great taster of what a week in med school would be like. I really recommend it to anyone thinking about applying for medicine.

I was warmly welcomed by the Amy, Eleanor and Lorraine at the beginning of my placement, and I feel that I have gained invaluable insight into the medical profession.

The simulations were a highlight. Practical application of the knowledge learned in realistic scenarios has allowed me to learn how to be empathetic and work under pressure.

The staff and Lorraine have made my week in London truly special, and I have throroughly enjoyed evening activities, such as the escape room.

I now feel more prepared in terms of understanding what the medical profession entails, as well as medical school application.

I would recommend Medical Projects London to any aspiring medics or anyone who just wants to learn more about medicine.

Thank you for everything Medical Projects London!

The Project London was an amazing experience for me as I did not only learn a lot but also managed to meet new friends that came from different countries. It provided me with an accurate insight on the life of a doctor as well as allowing me to experience the role of a doctor within the hospital. The course also gave me the foundation of medical knowledge and clinical skills which was used throughout the week in the simulation suite handling emergency scenarios. I'd recommend this course to whoever that has an interest in doing medicine as it really motivated me to work even harder to achieve that goal!

I really enjoyed my pre-medical placement at Project London. We were not only able to learn a lot of new information but also get hands-on experience. The staff was very attentive and helpful at all times. I was inpressed that even though my flight left really early in the morning, I was accompanied to the airport by taxi. The evening activities were allowed us to explore London and the schedule of the days in general was very well planned. I was very impressed as well with the overall organization of the trip. The only thing that I found negative was the accomodation. The hostel we stayed in had small, closed rooms with 5 people. For the rest, I can say it was a very positive experience which i would definitely recommend to other people.

I went to Project London and it's honestly the best thing I could have done in terms of getting a full insight of life as a medical student and doctor! It also made me realise that this is definitely the path I want to take - if anyone's still unsure, I highly recommend this course. A lot of the key skills of being a doctor were put into practice as well as the extremely helpful mock interviews.

It's also a chance to meet new people from around the world and get to know what it's like to work in a team with strangers. There was a perfect balance of teaching/simulation sessions and range of outdoor activities suited for everyone.

I only wish the duration of the course could have lasted longer, although I'm still surprised at how much I was able to learn within one week.

One cannot look for a better experience than Project London. Absolutely rewarding, broadening, and memorable.

Project London was one of the best programmes I have joined in my life. The lessons were informative, the simulations were realistic and exciting, and I experienced what a doctor's life is like. The non-medical part of the project was also enjoyable: I made a few new friends, and learnt a lot about London.

I took the London Medical placement, and it gave me an understanding of what a doctor would do to diagnose and treat patients, with hands on simulation experience, as well as other jobs a doctor would have to do.
They also gave good advice on interviews, which would help immensely when being interviewed by universities, and serve as good preparation.
In general, I learnt an incredible amount of medical knowledge from the week, and would strongly recommend anyone else to take this placement if they are thinking about applying to medicine.

it’s really helpful and I learnt a lot from the project. It is a fantastic work experience. I met friends, I learnt new things, I knew more about medical courses and applications. It is an unforgettable memory for me.

This has been an excellent week during which I learnt an abundant amount of medical information, worked with expert doctors and gained a much clearer perspective into a doctor's work life. All the lessons were extremely engaging and interesting, and ultimately boosted my desire to become a doctor! The discussions with the staff and the medical students allowed me to understand the interview process of top-notch medical universities in more depth, as well as what they expect from us. Besides the theory and practice sessions, I would recommend this course to anyone interested in studying medicine in the UK, because you're surrounded by students like you who are all interested in medicine, creating a more fun experience overall.

One of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever been on, a definite must for anyone considering studying medicine at university! Extremely friendly and accommodating staff and very knowledgable doctors make the whole week very enjoyable, especially combined with the leisure activities that have been planned, which allow you to fully immerse yourself in the London environment and encourage you to build on friendships with the other students. The simulation suite gives a first hand look into real life situations in the emergency room that you would not be able to experience any other way as a pre med student. Could not recommend the experience more!

I had the best time ever in Project London! The atmosphere was amazing and all the staff were super friendly. The simulations were extremely helpful, and there were a wide range of different scenarios. I would honestly recommend this to anyone who is either already sure about medicine, or anyone who isn't quite sure yet. Either way, you get so much out the experience and you meet so many amazing new people and friends!

Honestly, if you want to become a doctor but just need an extra kick to ensure your decision, just join Medical Projects.
I joint Project Kilimanjaro and London, which is a good combo. Why? Well, because Project London is the latest of all. Unlike others which are based on doctors shadowing, Project London is a simulation experience and allows you to practise medicine without killing people; I killed mine with penicillin overdose, but doesn't matter, that's how you learn.
Project Kilimanjaro is fantastic, the view the mountain outside the hospital did 50% of the curing to the patients. Each doctor there had very different personality which means I gained different point of views and interpretations from different doctors about different cases. The trip made me realised how dynamic the field of medicine can be.
The experiences gave me quite a clear view of what it takes to become part of the medical society. The human aspect of medicine they emphasised on is the greatest feature, because at the end of the day we are working with people not papers and syringes.
