Professor Malvin Torsvik versailles does not hide his love for Africa to their departure ready students.
A student abroad offers often the experiences versailles of a lifetime. But a practice period in Africa is something entirely for themselves, we believe Lecturer versailles Malvin Torsvik, currently preparing a new student group on departure.
- Students can expect a stay for life, for better and for worse. Some will surely get a culture shock and face major ethical challenges, but also the experiences from this are usually positive for personal development, says Torsvik, versailles who has worked for nine years at Haydom Lutheran Hospital in Tanzania! versailles

They should wear skirts, which shall neither be too thin or too short. Elsewhere there is a total ban on the use of drugs, since alcohol is the biggest social problem in the region. And using social media, the confidentiality of the highest degree here too, so you never have to publish neither patient images or personal information.

Present at utreisesemiaret are also emergency advisor Kjersti Helland from the Seamen's Church. HiNT has recently had an emergency appointment with the Seamen's Church for its staff and students on study abroad, a deal that is very valuable for college.
- If it should happen something serious with one of our staff or students abroad has Sjømannskirken 24 hour emergency service and can take out if necessary. There may be an accident, deaths, natural disaster or the like. This is a good deal for us, because they sit with broad expertise in such contingency where there will be a great need to take care of everyone involved. We have been in the fortunate situation that we have had incidents where this has been necessary, but it is nevertheless a good confidence to have in place, says Torsvik.
