This medical internship will take place in one or more of the local hospitals partnered with the association of this medical internship, and in villages where medical care is not easily accessible or is too expensive. Interns will assist local doctors or nurses in their daily activities and in emergency situations help out in the hospital. Occasionally, you can join the local doctors who visit the villages to perform free medical examinations.
The first week of your internship consists of an introduction to the local culture, customs and do's and don'ts. Not only will you learn some of the language and the way of life, but you will also visit the city and learn how to get around by yourself.
On Thursday and Friday of the first week, you will receive an introductory session at the university prior to the internship. During these sessions, a professional supervisor will brief you on the local situation and developments in the industry/field in which the internship will take place and prepare you for the local work environment/culture.
From the second week, you will work Monday to Friday at the medical internship association. A daily schedule will be set up to show you the different departments where you will work during your internship.
