Supervised clinical rotations at partner hospitals in Ghana.
Rotate through the wards at Cape Coast Teaching Hospital as part of the professional team led by Dr Ernest K. Ainooson, with hands-on exposure to tropical medicine and public-health realities you'll rarely meet at home. You observe, you assist, you grow — always within your scope and always supervised.
Learning alongside the people who lead the ward.
On rotation you join the daily rhythm of the wards — morning rounds, outpatient clinics and bedside teaching — as part of Dr Ainooson's resident team. The local clinicians are the experts and the leaders; you are here to learn from how they work, and to contribute within your training.
Five specialties, matched to the wards that teach them.
Internal & family medicine
Ward rounds, outpatient clinics and a real introduction to tropical and infectious disease.
General surgery
Theatre lists, pre- and post-operative care and trauma you'll rarely encounter at home.
Paediatrics
Children's wards and clinics — growth, infection and care for the youngest patients.
Obstetrics & gynaecology
The maternity ward and delivery suite — high-volume, hands-on maternal and newborn care.
Emergency medicine
The front door of the hospital — acute presentations and fast decisions under pressure.
Hands-on always means supervised, and always within your training.
Local clinicians lead every rotation. You learn by observing and assisting under their direction — never by working unsupervised or beyond your competence. This is what keeps the exchange safe for patients and meaningful for you, and it is non-negotiable.
Our teaching hospital on the coast.
On scheduled days, the wards come to the village.
On scheduled outreach days the team brings free health screening to rural communities — blood-pressure and blood-sugar checks, basic consultations and health education, brought to people who would otherwise travel far for them. For students it is one of the clearest views of public health and preventive care on the coast, and a chance to work as part of the wider team.
Like the rest of the program, the outreach days are led by local clinicians and built on partnership and mutual learning — never charity.
