Frequently Asked Questions
What is involved in the application process?
If you're enrolled in a pre-med, medical, nursing, or dental program, or have recently completed a healthcare degree, you automatically qualify for a placement with GoElective. If you haven't contacted us yet, submit an inquiry and our team will guide you through the process.
Are there any limitations on booking availability?
Yes, slots are limited and fill up rapidly. We maintain a controlled number of students in each department to uphold the quality of our clinical placements. As spaces fill up fast, we encourage you to book as soon as possible to secure your spot (especially if you plan to travel as a group).
Does GoElective assist with Visa, eTA, and or flights arrangements?
Yes, we assist with visas. If you require assistance with flights, please inform us and we'll provide guidance and support to facilitate the process. We normally handle this during pre-trip virtual sessions with our team.
What is a typical workday like for program participants?
Participants typically spend 5-7 hours in the hospital, with downtime in the afternoons for activities such as volunteering in a local school, language lessons, global health tutorials, and sightseeing. Weekends are free for excursions, safaris, or relaxation, though participants may choose to work in the hospital during this time.
