Your tasks will include, but are not limited to:

• Following and discussing clinical cases
• Supporting and observing consultations
• Assisting in soft tissue surgeries
• Supporting treatments (e.g., blood sampling, bandaging, IV therapies)

Conditions and tasks may vary depending on the destination. Internship durations range from 1 to 9 months.
