About Program

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.

Anuradhapura is a Sri Lankan city surrounded by temples, stupas and sites of ancient civilization. A thriving hub of people, this UNESCO World Heritage site isn’t too different from its hospitals, to which a large number of patients form across Sri Lanka are referred, with a range of diseases and ailments. Nursing interns can expect to encounter tropical diseases like dengue fever, cases of malaria, tuberculosis to name but a few.

Work the World also offers participants the opportunity to both observe and practice the ancient art of Ayurveda, or ‘tree medicine’, whilst living in a rural Sri Lankan community. Here, mornings will be spent learning from the local healer, and afternoons exploring the surrounding jungle.

This program is no longer offered. View more programs from Work the World.
