About Program
We do not offer paid internships or cater for volunteering experiences. To be eligible for a Work the World medical internship, you need to be in medical school, or have equivalent clinical experience (MD or equivalent). We can also not accept premeds.
In this thriving city, participants will be placed in a large hospital with opportunity to work in departments such as orthopedics, emergency, NICU, and OBG. Furthermore, aiding in the treatment of health complaints unfamiliar to interns such as HIV can also be part of the learning experience, with rural clinics and community visits available for participation. Working in a low-resource environment will give interns chance to develop their skills and learn about alternative healthcare systems.
Relaxing on white beaches, perusing local markets, taking a dip in a waterfall, or trekking the jungle to find tree houses, are just some of the things you'll discover when off the wards.
