Medical mentoring – Practical experience placement

Refugee doctors, dentists and nurses have had to leave a lot behind, but they have taken their knowledge, experience and ambitions with them. If their craftsmanship continues to flourish here, everyone will benefit. However, too few healthcare professionals who have fled are given the opportunity to practice their profession again, despite the major staff shortages in healthcare.

The UAF supports refugee healthcare professionals who want to use their valuable knowledge and experience in the Dutch healthcare sector. We understand the challenges they face and offer them the opportunity to gain practical experience with the help of a mentor, even before they obtain their BIG registration.
