Health Science Jobs Abroad

Are you passionate about health sciences but aren’t sure how your career choice fits with your desire to see the world?

Whether you’re testing samples in a medical laboratory, helping solve nutrition problems in a rural village, or bringing new ideas to a medical device firm, starting international public health careers is guaranteed to provide you with a serious resume boost, not to mention a new perspective on healthcare around the world.

Excellent working holiday intro tour in Melbourne

by: Alexandra Paul - United StatesProgram: Melbourne Gap Year: Paid Work Opportunities in Australia
10

I recently joined the Melbourne Gap Year tour with Grabatour, and it was hands down the perfect way to kick-start my Australian adventure! From the moment I arrived, everything was well-organized, making the transition into a new country smooth and stress-free. The itinerary was a great mix of practical support and fun experiences. The team helped us set up essentials like bank accounts, tax file numbers, and SIM cards, which saved me so much time and hassle. They also provided great advice on job hunting, which gave me a real head start in finding work. Beyond the practical stuff, the city tours were a highlight. We explored Melbourne’s famous laneways, checked out the street art, and visited St. Kilda Beach, all while learning about the city’s culture. There were also plenty of opportunities to socialize, and I met an amazing group of people from all over the world. The support from their local team didn’t stop when the tour ended—they were always there to help with any questions I had. If you’re looking for an exciting, hassle-free way to start your working holiday in Australia, I highly recommend this tour!

A Guide to Health Science Jobs Abroad

Why Work in Health Science Abroad

Health science jobs aren’t hard to come by, so why would you want to pack your life in a suitcase and head out for the unknown? Working abroad will not only give you a wider perspective on your field, it will also increase your understanding of the challenges others face. For a nutritionist working in southern California, malnutrition means something quite different than it does in Tanzania. Learning how to treat and overcome these obstacles in a new environment will provide tools and strategies that you’ll be able to implement when you return home.

In addition to gaining knowledge, health sciences jobs abroad will also reflect well on your resume. Employers recognize that someone who’s lived in another country is flexible, resilient, and comfortable stepping outside of his or her comfort zone. If you choose to work in a country where a new language is spoken, you’ll likely be able to add new language skills to your CV too.

Aside from professional advancement, international jobs in health sciences will also provide an opportunity for personal growth and introspection. Immersing yourself in a new culture, language, and way of doing things is always both challenging and rewarding. You may come to understand health care in a new way after working overseas, and chances are you’ll understand yourself differently, too.
