MOTIVATION
Medical students are:
Adventurous
Competitive
Curious
Eager to learn
Willing to adapt
Why are they not easy to get to go abroad?

Medical students are limited by:
Their competitiveness
Impatience/adventurous
A very strict curriculum
Almost all content is mandatory
Forced to have an academic take on studying abroad
OBSTACLES

Medical students going abroad are the adventurous ones, but they are limited by their strict curriculum.
Pre approved course packages
Help them find alternative ways (internships etc.)
Market destinations to the academic adventurer
Hold their academic hands through the process
HOW CAN WE HELP?

WORKSHOP
Questions to be discussed:
How can you accommodate the different student types in your counselling of students?
Should we support every demand – are we the dream breakers or the curling coordinators?
How does one work with reality (national agendas, unsexy destinations etc.) on the onehand and the dreams and idealized ideas of the students?
Concrete experience with something that works?
In your opinion, what is the most important thing to focus on in a time of limitedressources/time?
