Editor's Notes
- Started in 2009Student run not-for-profit organisationFocus on providing students with global health experience and opportunities
- We’re all about a hands on, action approach! Hoping to allow students to develop their health care and cultural skills whilst getting involved in activities that are truly valuable
- Not overseas hospital attachment. Optimize your time there Unlike medical tourism companies – do not make a profit for the trips and don’t ask you to pay exuberant fees – you just have to work out funding for your own travel to the destination and accomodation/living expenses once there – generally very cheap!Fundraising – for resources/equipment other needs of the community that we either bring with us or help the community to purchase
- Personal and professional benefits stand to gain from Developing countries to have the opportunity to do procedures and see weird and wonderful diseases Make a difference, value add to the community, create an impact, develop sustainable relationship
- Recent year’s teammed have become unique as a central facility for collection, storage and supply of donated medical resources. Used to be a similar one associated with melbourneuni but I don’t believe they are in operation any moreA great way you can get involved in teammed is to approach your various hospital or GP placements and ask if they have any resources they may be able to donate. We have some forms and advice available if you want to do this.Currently in need of a resource coordinator to facilitate this process! You would basically be a part of our general committee so get to participate in all team activities plus run the resource program. Ben is available tonight –last years coordinator if you’d like to chat about what that involves. If you’re interested come and see us tonight or send us an email.
