Meet Buse Altunbağ on the left, from Rüzgar Anatolian High School in Türkiye. 🇹🇷

You may remember Buse as the winner of the GoAbroad.com Kenya Giveaway, which gave her the opportunity to join us for a Go-Elective pre-med program.

Oh, and there's more! Her passion for science extends far beyond medicine. In 2025, Buse was selected as a Global Nominee in the NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration International Space Apps Challenge.

She also won the high-school category of the International Neuroethics Essay Contest for her essay exploring the ethics of consciousness in brain organoids. How cool is that? 🚀🧠

We'll soon be sharing Buse's firsthand experience with Go-Elective.

Stay tuned!

❤️ A Go-Elective experience extends beyond the hospital.

While clinical learning is at the heart of our programs, becoming a great healthcare professional also means developing empathy, cultural understanding, and meaningful human connections.

Our students spent an afternoon at a local children’s home, playing games, sharing stories, and laughing together.

Sometimes, the most valuable lessons aren't learned in a textbook or on a hospital ward, but through moments of kindness, humility, and human connection.

That's the Go-Elective experience.

Curious what we do on weekends? We feed giraffes. 🦒

Between clinical rotations and hospital learning, our students get to experience the incredible wildlife and culture that make Kenya so special.

This is the Go-Elective experience 🇰🇪

Hands-on learning goes beyond the bedside🧠

Our students joined a consultant neurosurgeon for an interactive review of brain imaging, gaining valuable insight into clinical decision-making in an actual hospital setting.

Did you know? Across many African hospitals, neurosurgeons often manage a high volume of trauma, stroke, hydrocephalus, brain tumors, and spinal conditions, giving students exposure to a wide range of neurological pathology in a relatively short period.

Observing these cases helps bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world clinical practice.

This is what learning with Go-Elective is all about.

What an incredible month June was! 🇰🇪🩺

We were thrilled to welcome students from Mississippi State University, University at Buffalo, Universität Zürich, and Iowa State University to Mombasa, Kenya for an incredible clinical internship experience with Go-Elective.

Over the past few weeks, they explored global health working alongside local healthcare professionals, and created memories we hope will last a lifetime.

We'll be sharing some of our favorite moments from their journey.

Stay tuned!
