Medical interns in this project will quickly learn why Thailand has become a medical center for much of Asia. The high level of technology in Thailand's hospitals and the highly qualified bilingual staff that operate hospitals in Thailand have made Thailand a medical hub for Asia. Interns are paired with a Thai doctor who supervising them through their internship.
The program includes pre-departure assistance, airport pick-up, orientation and nurse consultation when you first arrive, accommodations at the sanctuary, 2 meals a day, and 24 hour assistance by our in-country team. Volunteers purchase their own plane tickets and travel insurance.
It is best if interns arrive in Chiang Mai on a date below before 8pm, so orientation can take place over the weekend and interns can start at the hospital bright and early on Monday.
