I have a greater understanding of the importance of sustainability, the cloud forest ecosystem, and a deep appreciation for the ground teams that educate, facilitate, and keep these programs going. Now that I am home, I am re-aligning my career to a more eco-conscious company and putting into practice much of the things I learned while on base.

A Guide to Interning Abroad in Lima

Internships in Lima

To address this need, the national government of Peru has begun recruiting healthcare professionals from abroad, and also welcoming international interns to help support day-to-day operations of health care facilities. There are a multitude of medical internships in Lima, and in all of Peru for that matter. However, most health internships in Lima will require that interns have a background in nursing, dentistry, or midwifery, as these are all high need medical services. Although most health science internships in Lima are offered on a voluntary basis, interns are occasionally compensated with a small living stipend.

Environmental Studies. While it is true that Lima is a widely industrialized city, its local government has worked hard to create initiatives that focus on maintaining its biodiversity. Despite their best efforts, there is still much work to be done in terms of environmental preservation and conservation in Lima. To help support the local government, many international and local environmental organizations have stepped in to provide campaigns, programs, and initiatives that can help address societal problems such as inadequate water supply, environmental degradation, urban air pollution, and deforestation.
