Now is your opportunity to take yourself on that 'once-in-a-lifetime' midwifery placement overseas. You get to travel to a beautiful, exciting destination and brighten your prospects as a future midwife on an overseas midwifery placement with Work the World.
Is an overseas midwifery placement for you?
The short answer is yes — you're eligible if you're pursuing or have completed a midwifery degree.
You should seriously consider an overseas midwifery placement if:
- Your midwifery degree has a mandatory 'elective' module
- Your midwifery degree has an optional 'elective' or 'overseas' module
- Your university states that your placement has to be observation-only
- Your midwifery degree does not offer an overseas placement option
- You want to undertake a midwifery placement in your own time
If you think the above points cover every scenario, you're right. And that's the point — whatever your reasons for travelling, you will get a tailored overseas placement based on your goals and interests.
Remember: If you're undertaking a placement for course credit, your English-speaking placement supervisors will sign off on your hours. We will also send you an official, signed completion letter when your placement is complete.
Have your own transformational overseas experience.
Undertake an overseas placement with us and become a stronger, more capable midwife. Your experience with us will give you incredible confidence going into the rest of your studies and your midwifery career — you'll be able to handle anything the job can throw at you.
Perspective-shifting practices you might see on your overseas placement include:
- Episiotomies being performed for every birth
- Lack of privacy for women on the wards
- Different cultural attitudes towards childbirth
- No pain relief available to labouring women
Grow together on once-in-a-lifetime weekend trips
On a Work the World placement, you will live in a private house with other healthcare students worldwide. But it's on your weekend trips when friends truly become family.
Here are a handful of experiences you can enjoy together:
- Relaxing on palm-lined, white-sand beaches
- Getting close to elephants, lions and giraffes on safari
- Swimming with curious sea turtles on warm tropical reefs
- Hiking (or paragliding!) through the Himalayas
- Spending a weekend hopping between paradise islands
You'll form strong bonds, and by the end of the trip, you'll have some of the best friends you'll make.
