A Guide to Biomedical Science Internships Abroad

Prepare for an Internship

Understand the benefits

The biomedical science field and the internships available offer so much diversity. Interning abroad can provide some pretty succinct benefits though—a few are:

  • Hands-on experience. Gain practical skills in advanced laboratory settings while working on innovative research projects.
  • Professional networking. Connect with leading scientists and industry professionals while building a global professional network.
  • Cultural Exposure. Enhance adaptability and intercultural communication as you gain a broader understanding of global health issues.
  • Career advancement. Strengthen your resume with unique international experience to improve your competitiveness in the job market.

Things to know

No matter where your Biomedical Science internship abroad takes you, there are key things you must prepare for in advance. Being mindful of these essentials will help ensure a smooth and memorable experience.

  • Visas and important information - You’ll need to secure the right visa, so make sure to research and complete the necessary paperwork ahead of time.
  • Language - Learning basic phrases in the local language shows respect, and while it doesn’t need to be perfect, locals usually appreciate the effort and are happy to assist.
  • Health and safety - Get any required vaccinations or health checkups before traveling and check if you’ll need to purchase health insurance or update your existing coverage.
  • Costs and logistics - Look for scholarships or funding opportunities to cover your expenses, and confirm whether your internship offers academic credit that can be transferred to your institution.
  • Social and cultural etiquette - Be open to adapting to different cultural norms and behaviors; learning how to properly greet people in the host country is a sign of respect and can go a long way in fostering connections.
