Medical students

For medical students

Become a guide and make a difference — alongside your studies.

Why become a guide?

As a medical student you know how large the gap is between medical jargon and what patients and their relatives actually understand. As a guide you bridge that gap — and gain invaluable experience at the same time.

Your benefits

Practical experience

You communicate with patients and relatives in a real hospital context. This is invaluable experience for your future career as a doctor.

Flexible around your studies

You decide your own availability. We only match you with requests that fit your schedule and location.

Meaningful work

You help people in a vulnerable moment. That is not only good for your CV — it simply feels good.

Network

You collaborate with other students and make contact with hospitals and healthcare professionals in your region.
