NURSING

"Experience a Life-Changing Nursing Elective in the Philippines"

Embark on a transformative nursing elective program with Electives Asia in the Philippines, where you’ll gain invaluable insights into healthcare in a developing country. Our Nursing Elective Program is designed for international nursing students who want to expand their clinical knowledge and cultural awareness by working in a dynamic healthcare environment.

In the Philippines, you’ll encounter cases that are rare or seldom seen in developed nations, including tropical diseases like dengue fever, tuberculosis, and parasitic infections. You’ll also experience the challenges of delayed treatments due to limited resources, poverty-driven health complications, and overcrowded facilities. These real-world situations will provide a deeper understanding of global health disparities and the resilience of both healthcare providers and patients.

Hands-On Opportunities in a Wide Range of Departments

During your elective, you’ll have the opportunity to rotate through various hospital departments, including:​

✨ Emergency Room (ER): Observe how medical teams manage trauma and critical cases in a high-pressure environment.

✨ Pediatrics: Assist in caring for young patients with malnutrition, infectious diseases, and congenital conditions.

✨ Maternity and Obstetrics: Witness and assist with childbirth and postpartum care.

✨ Surgery: Observe operations and gain insight into pre- and post-operative care.

✨ Internal Medicine: Work with patients managing chronic diseases and infectious illnesses.

✨ Community Health Clinics: Experience healthcare delivery in rural and underserved areas.

What to Expect During a Nursing Elective in a Philippine Government Health Facility?

✨ Observation: Gain exposure to the workflow of a busy hospital and observe the complexities of delivering care in resource-limited settings.

✨ Patient Interaction: Take patient histories, build rapport with local patients, and learn about cultural nuances in healthcare.
