Program Overview

Join this internship opportunity abroad and gain invaluable experience in your chosen discipline within the field of medicine. At the same time, find out what life is like for many people in Tanzania and Africa in general as you help and interact with some of the poorest residents in your host town.

The program, which is organized by our professional staff, offers a guaranteed medical placement at one of our partner hospitals. We guarantee a customized internship by placing you in a hospital capable of giving the best work experience. Here, you can choose from a range of departments: general medicine, pediatrics, physiotherapy, obstetrics/gynecology, and others. We can also arrange a more specialized field upon request.

As an intern, your main activities include assisting doctors with basic procedures, receiving patients and providing assistance after their treatment, and handling office tasks. Your specific day-to-day tasks are varied and spread across many areas, especially if you’re assigned to various departments.
