Dentistry Elective in Cambodia - Four 4th yr Grads from Newcastle - Possible or not??
- Login to post comments
My 21yo daughter and three co-students (3F,1M) are looking for the chance to do their 2 week elective in July in Phnom Penh or elsewhere in Cambodia. They would like to do it in the same hospital/practice if possible, but at least in the same area.
They are in their fourth year at Newcastle (Dentistry) University, UK.
I can sort all their travel and living arrangements. They just need somewhere that can take them.
Any suggestions or leads would be greatly appreciated.
I have already tried Cambodia World Family, but they don't take students any more.
If a 21 year old needs their father to make all their arrangements I would suggest that Cambodia may not the right place for them.
If you cannot help, why do you feel the need to snipe post?
I did not say they needed me to help, but I happen to live nearby and it would be pretty stupid IMO if I did not assist. I have been to Cambodia many times, so if you are just trying to point out that it's a dangerous place or something, then thanks, but that wasn't the sort of advice I was looking for.
The agencies/companies that make money out of setting up these Electives organise everything for the 2 parties. Therefore a hospital/practice might assume that without an agency, they might have the responsibility. I thought it was worth pointing out that that was not the case.
Thanks anyway.
Hi Mr Mickba,
I came across you post while searching for info to do elective in Cambodia.
I am fourth year dental student, also from Newcastle University UK. Did your daughter and her friends manage to perform the elective in Cambodia? And if you can provide me with the details it will be very much appreciated. I plan to go there on Summer 2012.
Thank you very much.
