BSc in Nursing
Complete your nursing internship in Thailand in a local clinic in the Krabi area. Join a team of professionals to observe and assist them in their daily tasks. You’ll gain hands-on experience in patient care while fully immersing yourself in the country.
The clinics are located in southern Thailand, specifically in the areas of Lamsaek and Ao Luek, in the Krabi province. The populations of the surrounding villages, representing around 6,000 inhabitants, rely on the care provided by these facilities, whose mission is to implement the Ministry of Public Health policies around 4 main objectives:
Â
We also work in collaboration with a hospital located in Ao Luek, and it is possible to complete rotations between the clinics and the hospital, depending on availability and requests made in advance.
As a student intern, you will join the team and follow their daily activities. You may be required to carry out the following tasks:
Â
The most common medical cases you may encounter include: diabetes, strokes, heart disease, road accidents, and fishing-related accidents (due to the proximity to the sea). Emergencies, maternity care, and surgery are also common situations.
You will have the opportunity to rotate through different departments of the clinic (medical, paramedical, pharmacy, and local medicine).
Optional activities are offered by local doctors, such as workshops on traditional Thai-Chinese medicine, acupuncture training, Thai herbal medicine, aromatherapy, and massage techniques.
You will work from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm with a lunch break from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm, which represents 7 hours per day, 5 days per week, leaving you free time to explore the surroundings and enjoy the country.
Tasks and schedules are flexible, as the objective of the internship is to encourage knowledge sharing and provide a meaningful cultural exchange between interns and supervisors.
During the day, your tasks include welcoming patients, patient care, and patient follow-up.
Interns are supervised during working days and fully independent outside working hours.
The partner organization places a strong emphasis on responsible commitment and the protection of biodiversity in Thailand. Our local partner prioritizes safety, knowledge sharing, and the well-being of its volunteers to ensure they optimize their learning experience, engage meaningfully with local communities, and leave with memorable experiences and newly acquired professional skills.
This program is available up to 24 weeks, please contact usto know price and availability.

You will be accommodated in a house with other participants in a shared room. Your accommodation will depend on the location of the clinic.
Wi-Fi is available. Laundry service is available at an additional cost.
Breakfast and lunch are included on working days only.
