Elective Africa's Pre-Nursing Shadowing internships are customized placements that give real-life exposure to what it means to be a nurse. You will have an opportunity to shadow nurses in Africa, where they have more caregiver time than other healthcare professionals. This also includes shadowing in midwifery operations. Under mentorship and supervision, you will learn how nurses, midwives, and health providers deliver health services despite the limitations of technology, diagnostic services, and treatment options. You will gain insight into the daily duties of nurses in large, busy hospitals and how culture and environment affect patient perspectives and healthcare delivery. Interns must be pre-med or medical students.

I can honestly say that it was one of the best experiences of my life. Not only was I able to have the experience of working/learning and helping in one of their hospitals, but they provided the opportunity for us to volunteer at a local primary school. We taught children and partook in school activities like dancing, athletics and sport. To see young and poor children havin...
