If you are embarking on a career in medicine, then this project is the perfect work place experience for you. With a wide range of healthcare activities you can be sure of a varied and in-depth internship from which you will gain a greater appreciation and understanding of the challenges facing the medical professionals in a country such as India. Based in Mysore, you will also have the opportunity to explore a beautiful city with a rich historical and cultural background and this placement will ensure you get the most out of your time in India with a wide range of experiences, and you will return with a multitude of memories that will remain with you forever.

* What Will I Be Doing?

This placement is ideally suited to medical students, and even qualified doctors and nurses, with a good command of both written and spoken English, and any related experience will of course be advantageous. There is the possibility of customising the work programme to suit your area of expertise and study, and also your individual preferences as well.

You will receive basic job training and start in a number of different departments. This will introduce you to general healthcare practices and the work culture of India, and ensure you derive the greatest benefit from the subsequent weeks. You will then be stationed within a specific department and you will assist both the local doctors and nurses in the daily work programme. The most successful volunteers will display willingness, open-mindedness and flexibility, and will be keen to involve themselves at every possible opportunity.
