Online Health Sciences Internships

The CFHI Ghana Virtual Internship was an incredibly impactful experience that exceeded my expectations. While the program was virtual, the opportunity to connect with healthcare professionals in Ghana provided me with a unique perspective on global health. Through live sessions and discussions, I gained a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by the healthcare system in Ghana, particularly around maternal health and public health outreach. One of the highlights was the collaborative learning environment—working alongside passionate peers from across the globe and engaging with the local team in Ghana gave me a deeper appreciation for the importance of cultural competence in healthcare. The virtual cultural exchange sessions also helped me better understand Ghanaian traditions, food, and daily life, making the experience feel more personal and immersive. This internship has not only strengthened my understanding of public health in a global context but has also inspired me to continue working toward solutions for healthcare challenges in underserved communities. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to broaden their global health perspective, regardless of their background.

The work was really clearly set out from the beginning. With great support and an encouraging and welcoming environment, I was able to complete my program successfully at my own pace and help others as a result. My supervisor played an especially pivotal part in my experience as she definitely made the program a smooth experience. The perfect opportunity for those in gap years or if you're looking for a career break! Not only does the programme offer the experience but masterclasses, workshops, and online courses.
