Stint Ireland: Internships in Dublin

Stint Ireland was an incredible organization that worked with me to find a last-minute opportunity. The staff went out of their way to not only find me a great internship, they also worked hard to make me and other interns feel comfortable and included. The internship was a unique experience that will assist me in achieving my future aspirations. I definitely recommend Stint Ireland to people looking for a creative and unique opportunity abroad.

Stint Ireland went above and beyond. The Stint team made sure the interns were being taken care of, and continually checked on the interns to make sure the internships were going smoothly. I highly recommend interning with Stint!

My summer in Dublin was AMAZING! Ireland itself is beyond words, and Dublin is a great place to live if you are young and up for some fun. The pubs, the food and the nightlife are a ton of fun. Make sure to check out Dicey's Garden on Tuesdays for 2 euro pints. The parks and natural aspects of the city were also lovely, and if your a vegitarian- go to Cornucopia!

Stint is also a superb placement program. They went above and beyond any placement program i've seen, and their added support after your arrival is well worth the money. They planned fun weekend trips, took us out for drinks and frequently set dinners. They also took extreme pains to make sure my educational and professional experience was top notch. I learned so much, and made so many lasting friendships.

Go Ireland, Go Stint!

My internship involved working with a doctor at a hospital. Most days, I went with the medical team and looked at patients on the wards. Halfway through my internship, I contributed to a thrombolysis pathway audit which provided insight to a very important system at the hospital. In addition, I really enjoyed seeing the various medical procedures performed in various departments. I thought that the team and the staff were very friendly and welcoming, but as for work, I don't feel I had much direction. There weren't defined times when I would arrive and leave for work, and after the morning rounds were completed, I did not know what my duties were. I did, however, truly appreciate the team's interest and support for a premed student. Housing was also a bit challenging to organize. I didn't receive too many options when I signed up for student housing, and I ended up finding my own accommodations very close to when I arrived in Ireland. I do think that Stint did a great job staying connected to the interns by inviting them to dinners and one-on-one meetings. The Stint team is very enthusiastic and willing to help with the students. Overall, I'm glad I acquired some experience and insight into the medical field.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Stint Ireland. Right from the beginning, Melanie, the managing director, was there to quickly answer all of my questions and concerns. She set up my job, housing and everything else and I didn't have to worry about anything. While in Ireland, Stint went above and beyond. From walking each intern to their internship on the first day to having any problems within the house taken care as soon as they were addressed, it was a very reliable and responsive program. Stint planned nights out in Dublin and some fantastic trips on the weekend. My favorite was the weekend Stint Ireland organized a trip to Sligo and there we surfed and explored a different part of Ireland. Everyone who worked for Stint was so wonderful and always there whenever needed. I had the most amazing 2 months over in Ireland and I owe it all to Stint. Anyone looking to do an internship in Ireland I could not more highly recommend this program.

The Stint Ireland staff set me up with a great physical therapy internship with Roy Brennan. I was able to observe new therapy techniques that I had never seen before, such as acupuncture, and work with the general public, GAA footballers, and semi-pro soccer players. I was also able to provide certain therapy, like massage and ultrasound, to patients. It was such an awesome experience! I learned quite a bit because Roy was a great boss/teacher! The Stint Ireland staff also helped make my trip great. They were so welcoming and made my arrival/transition into Dublin stress free!

StintIreland set up an internship at the DSPCA for me. My general duties put me in the rehabilitation portion of the shelter and I worked mostly with dogs. It is a highly physical post since most of the day is spent walking the dogs or throwing balls for them to chase. The mornings were spent cleaning the kennels and the afternoons were for any grooming or vet trips that needed to be done.

Stint greeted me at the front door of my apartment and helped me through the initial steps to get through my time in Dublin. Stint has social events but most were only posted through Facebook so being one without an account I missed most. They have changes their procedure and now send out emails so no more problems should happen with that. I would absolutely use Stint again to help me with internship placement.
