Clinical Attachment

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Our Zambian Clinical Attachment program offers international medical students and graduates the opportunity to gain valuable hands-on clinical experience within the Zambian healthcare system. Attaches take part in supervised patient care, case discussions, and other clinical activities appropriate to their level.

Akey benefit of our Zambian attachment program is being able to gain experience in a resource limited healthcare environment, where attaches develop stronger clinical reasoning, adaptability, and problem-solving skills while gaining insight into global health and different approaches to healthcare delivery.

Unlike our UAE clinical attachments, which are predominantly observational, our Zambian placements provide supervised hands-on clinical experience, subject to the attaches level of training, selected department, and the policies of the host institution.

Upon successful completion attaches receive a certificate of clinical attachment completion from the host institution.
