Medical, Nursing & Healthcare Internships in Chile
Program Overview
These medical internships in Chile will give you work experience that will last a lifetime. Move to your new city and shadow a doctor in Viña del Mar or Valparaiso. Learn how physical therapists work or assist in a "clinic." Some of our past candidates even had the opportunity to work with sports rehab companies, in chronic injury rehab treatment, or in the ER (with prior experience). This program in Chile is open to students or graduates specializing in Nursing, Public Health, PT, and Kinesiology. Each placement and type of work depends on experience, language level, and skill set. Participation in our internship programs will help boost your resume, medical skills, and Spanish-speaking skills. Choose to live with other Adelante candidates or locals to truly experience life and culture in Chile. Included in your program is housing, 2 weeks of intensive Spanish classes, optional excursions, and an internship placement. Adelante Abroad provides some of the most economical programs on the market and gives you the freedom to create your own experience abroad. Submit a $325 application deposit to secure your spot!
