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.

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.
Students are accommodated in same-gender shared rooms with 1 to 2 people per room. The house is fully equipped: Wi-Fi in common areas, fans, hot water showers, and secure lockers.
Local laundries, ATMs, and small shops are located near the house (about a 5–10 minute walk), which is about a 15–30 minute drive from the center of Ubud.
Please note: There are no mosquito nets in the rooms.
Lunch and dinner are not included in the program. Only breakfast is included.
Indonesian food is tasty and very diverse. Typical dishes include Mie Goreng (fried noodles and vegetables), Nasi Goreng (fried rice and vegetables), or Gado Gado (mixed vegetables with satay sauce). For those who do not eat meat, Indonesian cuisine makes wide use of tofu and tempeh (soybeans).
Breakfast includes pancakes, fresh fruit, toast, etc. Tea, coffee, and purified water are available at the house. We do not recommend drinking tap water.
