a laboratory and a medical imaging unit.

Like all of our nursing and medical internship programs abroad , this project in Argentina allows you to gain university credits while acquiring experience in the field and helping to guarantee the UN’s goal of universal access to healthcare.

The challenges of interns in Argentina

One of the problems encountered in the public sector in Argentina is the lack of personnel. Trainees who show commitment and dynamism will be able to come as reinforcements and provide valuable assistance to the permanent staff, thus allowing them to take the time necessary to provide patients with a satisfactory level of care. Interns will rotate each week in a different department.

Interns will work 5-7 hours a day in the clinic.

The trainees will be supervised and evaluated by the local staff of the NGO associated with this internship. The responsibilities and tasks given to the interns are entirely at the discretion of the local staff, and will vary according to the personality, skills and level of Spanish of the students.

Your accommodation

Housing is allocated by local NGOs, not by Freepackers - the descriptions are there to give you an idea of the type of accommodation, as it is very likely that conditions will vary on site depending on the number of volunteers, weather conditions, availability, etc. Each volunteer will be accommodated according to the stated conditions, but it is possible that the accommodation may not match the description or images shown on this site word for word, for example, in the case of annexed housing, renovations, relocations, etc.

Our partner NGO offers two options for volunteer accommodation:

- Youth hostel in downtown Córdoba: accommodation in a shared room (maximum 3 people per room) with access to the rooftop with barbecue and a fully equipped kitchen so that volunteers can prepare their meals. The hostel also has an internet connection and a bar.

- Host family: volunteers will be accommodated in a single room with the locals with half board. Expect to pay around £45 extra per week for accommodation with a host family.

Meals​

For trainees who wish to stay in a shared room, only breakfast is included in their price.

Interns staying with host families will receive two meals a day (breakfast and dinner).

Once there

Interns can choose between a shared room (maximum 3 people per room) in a student residence or being placed with a host family with half board, for an immersive stay.

You will need to plan around £450 for personal expenses to be paid locally for 5 weeks in Córdoba:

- Local transport (if necessary): £2-3 per day (round trip).

- Meals: around £9 per day.

Organise your trip

Visa​

Please contact the embassy or immigration website of the country you wish to enter.
