Argentina Affordable Internships | Intern Abroad HQ

I enjoyed learning about the health system in another culture and also being able to get to know more about the culture through our host parents as well as improve our Spanish through daily conversations with them.

I loved getting to know the program directors and people in my program through our nighttime classes. The hospital and Spanish classes taught me a lot, but being immersed in Argentine activities like mate class was such a great way to make friends, practice the language, and learn more about the culture. I love the closeness and openness that Argentine people have with each other. I feel much more empowered to ask questions even when I think it might be annoying or an inconvenience. In the hospital I got a lot of reassurance that my questions were good and the doctors took a lot of time to answer them and make me feel heard.

The program managers were very helpful and gave me enough information and support for me to feel comfortable in Argentina. I enjoyed meeting the other students in the program and the program directors who were super supportive during my 4 week stay. I also enjoyed staying with my host family, they were great people, my host mom cooked amazing food, and I will miss them greatly. My internship placement also allowed me to meet wonderful people who care a great deal about their community and the lives/ health of the mothers and children in that community. The children at my internship placement were very caring, sweet kids, and they were very respectful towards me. Overall, this experience was amazing and I came from it feeling better about my ability to immerse myself in a new culture with an open mind.
