Why Caribbean Electives Abroad (CEA)
Choosing Caribbean Electives Abroad (CEA) means gaining real medical experience while discovering the Caribbean. Since 2018, we’ve helped students build skills and confidence through hands-on placements across St. Vincent & the Grenadines.
Why Students Choose Us
1. Hassle-Free Elective Planning
We handle everything, from placement coordination and clinic contact to accommodation, airport pickup, and local support. No endless paperwork, visa confusion, or unanswered emails. Just a smooth, structured process so you can focus on what matters: your elective.
2. Local Expertise You Can Trust
Our team lives and works in SVG. That means your elective is designed and guided by people who know the healthcare system, the clinics, and the local community firsthand. You will gain access to experiences and mentors you simply would not find on your own.
3. Real, Hands-On Experience
Go beyond observation. You will actively participate in clinics, community health projects, and hospital settings, gaining genuine insight and making a tangible impact.
4. A Caribbean Experience Like No Other
We believe learning should be an adventure. Outside of your placement, we will help you explore SVG’s stunning islands, waterfalls, and culture, from sailing trips to local festivals, for a truly immersive experience.
5. Personalised Support Every Step of the Way
Whether you want to focus on a specific medical field or spend your downtime exploring, we tailor your program to suit your goals and interests.
Don’t Just Take Our Word for It. Our students consistently rate us highly for both the quality of medical placements and the immersive Caribbean experience we offer.
“The best experience of my life.
The team are extremely welcoming and organised SO much for us to do, with regards to both medicine and being able to explore the island and immerse ourselves into the culture.
This elective was truly once in a lifetime and I would recommend this to anyone!!!”

“Very good for a medical elective as you can do as much medicine as you want or as little as you want. Clinics are easily organised and doctors really want to you to learn, especially Orthopedics and sports medicine placements! Constant sunshine, amazing island tours included which are very much worth doing. Everyone at the company is supportive and helpful with every question, even ‘silly’ ones. Locals want you to love it here, experiencing a variety of seafood and fruits which are not available in the UK. Loved it!”
