Program Overview

Dive into a personalized internship abroad and gain practical experience while making a difference in the lives of underprivileged people. The placement is in Bangkok, where local public health clinics and international hospitals are found. The blend of Western and traditional medicine makes the capital city ideal for your health internship.

Thailand started providing universal healthcare in 2002, catering to more than 99% of its citizens. But this didn’t mean fair and easy access for everyone, especially for people from rural areas where additional health support is needed. Therefore, there is a demand for healthcare interns to assist with outreach efforts in local communities.

Throughout the program, you’ll experience Western and Eastern medical practices while shadowing public health professionals striving to broaden the reach of Thailand’s over-extended healthcare system. Become exposed to a great deal of ‘give and take’ as you support the needs of local people and learn relevant skills.
