Program description: |
|
|
GAP's medical placements are not necessarily intended for GAPpers planning on studying medicine at university, although that is frequently the case. GAP's medical placements are located in hospitals, hospices and homes for the elderly in Japan and these placements provide a real insight into the vital work that is done there.
The hospitals try to give a wide experience of hospital life so you may start in the maternity or children's ward and then transfer to another very different ward; you will obtain administrative experience as well.

Benefits and advantages of the program: |

The benefits of taking a gap year with GAP Activity Projects is that you will not only develop your self but your work contribution is making a huge difference to the overseas hosts you work with.
In terms of self development, you may learn self confidence, independence and maturity as well as skills like team working, leadership and improve your languages.
A gap year is a once in a lifetime opportunity that not only gives you the experience of living and working overseas, but gives you a different perspective on the world, a chance to travel and also to broaden your horizons.
GAP also operates a Business Partnership Scheme, for UK and Irish volunteers, putting you in touch with leading graduate recruiters who value the skills you have gained on your gap year.
