We do not offer paid internships or cater for volunteering experiences. To be eligible for a Work the World nursing internship, you need to be in nursing school, or have equivalent clinical experience (MD or equivalent). We can also not accept premeds.
While working alongside nurses in Ghana, participants will gain an authentic and first-hand experience of healthcare in the developing world. Encountering a range of unfamiliar complaints like malaria, typhoid, psychosis and TB, you’ll quickly adapt to diagnosing and treating these in a low-resource environment, learning new skills and gaining confidence along the way. Work the World’s longstanding relationship with our Ghanaian hospitals also means that working in a range of different departments is possible.
Home to a beautiful a part of the West African coastline, and safari, fishing villages and awe-inspiring waterfalls, it’s no surprise Ghana is one of Work the World’s most popular destinations to date.
