We know that planning an internship abroad is one of the most exciting steps in your healthcare journey but we also know that the cost can feel overwhelming. That’s why at Go Elective we’ve introduced a simple and flexible payment option to make your internship more affordable. Instead of paying all at once, you can spread the cost in a way that suits your budget and timeline.
The first step is making sure you don’t miss out on your chosen destination. Our programs in Kenya and Tanzania have limited spaces, so early booking is essential. You can secure your placement with a deposit of just $300, and within 12 hours we’ll confirm your spot.
Once your deposit is received, you’ll get access to MyTrip, your personalized online planner where you’ll find placement details, pre-trip guidance, and an easy-to-use payment tracker. Shortly after, our team will also give you a welcome call to start tailoring your internship to your interests. Whether that’s surgery, pediatrics, nursing, dentistry, or pre-PA clinical exposure.
You’re in control of how you pay the rest of your balance. As long as the total is cleared 90 days before you travel, you can choose between:
Save up and pay your balance in one go when you’re ready.
Chip away at the cost through “pay as you go” installments. Using MyTrip, you’ll have a full log of payments and can add funds whenever it suits you. No matter how big or small the amount.
Many of our students combine flexible payments with creative fundraising. Popular approaches include bake sales, fun runs, GoFundMe pages, sponsorship from local businesses, and even using birthdays or holidays as opportunities for family contributions. Some students have successfully fundraised their entire placement this way.
Once you’ve paid your deposit, you can relax knowing your place is secure. Even better, you can make changes to your travel dates up to 90 days before departure with no administrative fees. That way, you have complete peace of mind as you plan your trip.
Budgeting for an overseas healthcare internship doesn’t have to be stressful. With Go Elective’s flexible payments, you can focus on what really matters: preparing for an unforgettable learning experience that will boost your confidence, expand your global health perspective, and strengthen your medical or nursing school applications.
