Fantastic experience!
October 27, 2025by: Lauren Longyear - United StatesProgram: Physician Assistant Clinical Rotations in AfricaI had a fantastic time abroad with Elective Africa. They were present every step of the way, from pre-departure planning to the entire stay. They coordinated our clinical experience, accommodations, transportation, and additional excursions in the area. My classmates and I enjoyed exploring the area and learning more about African culture and lifestyle with a visit to an orphanage, primary school, and a city tour. This was a unique experience that broadened my perspective on healthcare and patient care.
I cannot wait to go back
August 15, 2023by: Regan Bunker - United StatesProgram: Physician Assistant Clinical Rotations in AfricaI had an amazing time during my placement in Mombasa, Kenya. The hospital was extremely welcoming, the people were all very friendly. I am looking forward to being able to go back after I start my career. The other students were very helpful when it came to familiarizing myself with the city and the hospital.
PA student experience with Elective Africa
March 30, 2019by: Andrea J. - United StatesProgram: Physician Assistant Clinical Rotations in AfricaI had an awesome experience with EA. I learned so much during my placement at a regional hospital there and met friends that I continue to keep in touch with even while home. I hope to return one day and would recommend this program to anyone.
