WHAT IS AN OVERSEAS MEDICAL INTERNSHIP WITH PROJECT POSSIBLE?
A medical internship abroad is a clinical placement you undertake in a fast-paced, low-resource hospital in the developing world.
You’ll see a healthcare system totally different from your own, and get experience with conditions and practices you’ve never seen before.
You can choose the departments you want to rotate through — oncology, surgical, pediatrics, the ED…. It’s completely customizable.
You’ll see unfamiliar conditions like tropical diseases, learn how sociocultural issues affect how care is delivered, and get real-life, in-person experience with global health.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A Medical INTERNSHIP ABROAD?
We’ve designed our internships to help you (and your resumé) stand out from the tens of thousands of med students who graduate every year.
On our internships for medical students, you’ll:
- Expand your clinical knowledge and skill set
- Develop your confidence and resourcefulness
- Build your personal and professional network
- Sharpen your verbal and non-verbal communication
- Become more attractive to employers
The best part is that your placement runs Monday to Friday. So, your evenings and weekends are free to explore a beautiful country you might never again get the chance to visit.
