Medical Internships in South Africa
Program Overview
Join our Medical Internship in South Africa, an exciting opportunity to familiarize yourself with treatments and procedures in a developing country. This is also open to volunteers, an ideal program for anyone wishing to pursue health sciences or medicine.
Through World Internships, we provide an impressive range of areas – from a community clinic to a public health project. But no matter the placement, you will work alongside experienced healthcare professionals. This allows you to learn from specialists while sharing your knowledge with them.
Our medical internship offers first-hand insight into the healthcare system of South Africa. You will acquire an in-depth understanding of common illnesses, such as TB and HIV/AIDS. For four weeks to 12 weeks (ideally, eight weeks to 12 weeks), you will stay in Cape Town and live with the community you will be assisting.
