Just a year into their training as doctors, ten medical students from Australia's north-eastern city of Brisbane are about to be put to the test in tsunami-hit Samoa. The students accepted the month-long internship before the tsunami hit.

Now, the focus of their trip has changed, and they're preparing for the challenge of working in a disaster zone.
