What MDA National Members Say About TEN
It was really invaluable – it made me feel more secure about going to a hospital knowing others had a good experience there. All the information I needed was on the website as well!
Nisha Prabaharan, University of New South Wales
I am a second year medical student and I have encouraged so many of my friends and colleagues to access TEN. I think this site is the TripAdvisor for medical students!
Emily Stevens, Deakin University
I found the website useful. I also found information on another elective organisation via TEN. I might be going to Mumbai for my elective and thanks to TEN and free access via MDA National, I was able to find the information.
