Medical Electives

HCJB Global offers opportunities for medical, nursing and dental students to do medical electives in one of our hospitals in Ecuador . This is mainly for students in their last year of study. A good knowledge of Spanish is required as it is necessary to be able to work independently in Spanish.

The Medical Electives opportunities are part of our Working Visitor programme. Working Visitors are qualified personnel who give between one month and a year to fill specific needs in medical, technical and support roles in the mission.

If you are interested in doing a medical elective with HCJB Global, complete the on-line Preliminary Information Form or contact us to discuss the opportunities for you. You will need to be self-supporting or willing to raise financial support as HCJB Global does not pay a salary.

    • and to help them grow in their faith
