Medical and Health internships in Guatemala

About Program
Low-income communities have very limited access to good health services, and this is where this program comes in. We partner with rural clinics that provide free or very accessible services where interns can work with local doctors and nurses. Depending on the intern's experience in the medical and health field, the level of responsibility and involvement will vary.
What could I be doing?
- Conducting health and hygiene workshops in rural schools.
- Helping doctors by measuring patients' vital signs.
- Shadowing doctors in procedures.
- Organizing the clinic’s pharmacy.
- Patient diagnosis assistance.
- Participating in medical outreach campaigns in villages (if one overlaps with your service time)
- Teaching indigenous families in rural areas about basic health measures and nutrition.
