Every placement is tailored to your field, interests, and career goals, ensuring you gain the practical skills and confidence you’ll carry forward into your profession.

WHY STUDENTS CHOOSE US

Keeley Haycock - Medical

University of Tasmania

" I had an amazing two-week medical elective in Roxas City with Electives Asia. April and Nino were incredibly supportive, making me feel safe, welcomed, and guided the whole time. The hospital staff were kind, accommodating, and encouraged me to get hands-on with procedures while patients were open and friendly.

Beyond the hospital, I enjoyed exploring the local area and even got to visit Boracay. Overall, this has been a fantastic experience, and I’d highly recommend Electives Asia to any student considering an overseas placement. "

Dix Stellma - Dentistry

University of Amsterdam

" I'm afourth-year dentistry student from Amsterdam, and my dental elective with Electives Asia was an amazing experience. I gained hands-on skills, from extractions in the dental bus to community prevention work in schools, all guided by supportive and experienced dentists.

Outside placement, I enjoyed great accommodation, local trips, and time at the beach. Overall, it was fun and educational, and I'd highly recommend it to other dental students! "

Josie Swan - Dentistry

University of Sheffield

" I just completed my dental elective with Electives Asia and had the best experience! I gained hands on experience in dentistry in the Philippines which was well organised by the company.

We were well looked after throughout our elective and everyone was so accommodating! We loved where we stayed and the delicious food that was provided for us and I can't recommend Electives Asia enough! A big thank you to April, Niño, Emmanuel, Mike and Karen for making us feel at home in the Philippines! "

Chong En Chu - Medical

Queensland University

" Me and my partner Jessie Zhu decided to go in the Philippines for our medical elective in Roxas City. We are normally based in Brisbane, Australia.

We cannot recommend them enough. You'll be well and truly looked after by April and her partner Nino - it honestly felt like they were our family in the Philippines. "
