Medical Electives in Tanzania - Dar es Salaam Reviews

"The most memorable case I was involved in was the removal of a fibroadenoma the size of a watermelon"

"Each weekend we would travel in small groups and go on some amazing excursions such as swimming with wild dolphins and relaxing on white sand beaches".

"The local staff were very welcoming and incredibly generous with their time and teaching."

"I can only describe my experience in Dar as unique and unforgettable in every aspect"

"I saw doctors who cared about their patients, using what they could to do as good a job as possible."
