How to Intern Abroad in Medicine
Overview
Prepare for an Internship
Understand benefits
Taking your medical internship abroad might feel intimidating at first, but it comes with incredible opportunities for growth and valuable experience.
- Learn professional work habits. Interns should expect to work long hours that require a lot of academic material, detail, and dedication.
- Get a feel for a day on the job. Medical professionals wear many hats, and many internships aim to reflect the full range of responsibilities involved.
- Be an intentional intern and aid in the community. Regardless of placement, you’ll join a group of passionate professionals who serve their communities.
Things to know
As you prepare for your internship abroad, it’s important to be aware of the essential information to ensure a smooth and successful experience.
- Basics. Many medical students are encouraged to gain international experience during summer breaks through internships abroad. Since these opportunities are competitive, applying early is essential.
- Cost of living. Living costs vary by location, so it's important to understand your program’s fees and what’s included. To avoid overspending, plan a realistic budget in advance.
- Visas. Visa requirements should be handled early, as most programs will need one. It’s helpful to contact your embassy for assistance, and our resources can guide you through the process.
Locations
Choose a Location
When thinking about medical internships, you honestly can’t go wrong. Most places in the world are in need or could use the help! Here are a few to start your search:
Spain
The Spanish healthcare system is a first-world system featuring thoroughly modern hospitals and clinics. Interns in Spain will often be placed in shadowing-based internships, in which they follow a physician through their daily tasks.
Cambodia
Students seeking specialized international experience should travel to Cambodia for their medical internship abroad. There are a few types of hands-on educational programs, including shadowing internships, assistantships, and medical internships. Some offer to work with more specific ailments all across the country.
South Africa
Medicine internships in South Africa offer hands-on clinical exposure in diverse healthcare settings, from urban hospitals to rural clinics. Interns gain experience with a wide range of medical conditions, develop cultural competence, and learn resourceful, patient-centered care while working alongside skilled professionals in a globally respected healthcare system.
Getting Started
Tips and Advice
Take the process of searching for and applying to a medical internship abroad step by step. Follow this guide to make it simple and straightforward:
1. Get matched
If you’re ready, our Online Advisor can match you with programs—they’ll be sent to your email.
2. Choose a program
After you receive matches (or find a program you like) you can log in to or sign up for a MyGoAbroad account and start comparing programs side-by-side.
3. Choose how long to stay
Helping others via internships is an incredible way to experience the world and your field regardless of how long.
- 1-3 months. If you’re interested or have a specific timeframe this is perfect for that. It’s also wonderful for students on holiday.
- 3-6 months. If you want to connect more with a new place this is a great choice, especially if you have to make it work in a specific timeline.
- 1 year. An excellent option for a gap year experience! It can provide the perfect balance of structure and exploration while contributing to and learning from a community.
4. Funding & scholarships
As you know, learning, financial aid is available for almost anything!
