About Program
Medical internship in Thailand is the best way to learn and grow, and Volunteering Solutions will ensure that each of you gets to experience something incredible. Medical Interns in this project will be paired with a full-time Thai doctor and work five days a week (Mon – Fri) usually from 8:00 am – 4:00 pm. In special cases, interns may work on weekends and evenings.
Please note that the daily working hours can vary depending on the workload and hospital schedule. Interns will shadow the Thai doctor in their normal, daily routines and assist with professional responsibilities.
Response from Volunteering Solutions
Hello Nila,
We are sorry that you were unhappy about the program. Your unannounced early departure and dissatisfaction of the program was quite a surprise, as everytime the local coordinators checked in with you, you told them everything was fine. The dentists in the department and hospital of your placement said you also seemed happy learning with them. All of our recent interns and other volunteers have been very happy with their placements. As is stated, the dental internship is an observation based activity. Aside from volunteer projects, we also arrange shadowing / observation based internships as well in private hospital placements. You had joined this program. The details of the program were provided to you beforehand and a detailed Pre departure booklet was also provided outlining the program information. Yes, the volunteer and intern accommodation had 10 people staying there, but they are spread between six bedrooms. The top floor room has its own refrigerator and kitchenette. Our safety coordinator does a check of the house each morning when all volunteers and interns have left for their programs. This safety check is also in place to turn off any electrical devices that may have been left on. Transport is provided on a Chiang Mai style mini-bus, which is a modified pickup truck with covered, padded seating in the back. This is consistent with transport used throughout Chiang Mai and Thailand.
Thanks
Team Volunteering Solutions
