Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Kiernan talks about the value and effectiveness of short-term overseas volunteering for General Practitioners (GPs). He shares his own experience from traveling as a medical student and his role in placing experienced GP trainees in posts in developing countries as the Programme Director for Global Health Fellowships at the London School of General Practice, Health Education England. A year is felt to be the minimum period for the trainee to deliver real benefit and gain worthwhile expertise.
