Himalayan Health
Himalayan Health is the organisation I went on my elective with. I’d recommend the Kargiakh trip to anyone with a reasonable level of fitness and who doesn’t mind roughing it for a month. It also occurs in August so it’s suitable for most peoples electives.
The trips are extremely well run with great support staff. The team comprises mostly of medics and medical students so it’s a great opportunity for dentists and dental students alike to brush up on our medical knowledge and see some really interesting things. The dental work focuses on extractions for whoever needs and prevention for the kids. Coaching the doctors and med students through extractions is very rewarding and they’re always keen to have a go.
Our group is having a 1 year reunion next month now that we’re all qualified so you really do make some great friends and you come away with an experience that is hard to top.
