Medical Internships for Groups of High School Students
Program Overview
Join our medical volunteering/internship in Ghana for teenagers and gain work experience by shadowing doctors in a clinical setting. You’ll get involved in health checks during outreach campaigns. You’ll encounter various diseases and conditions, and learn to diagnose and treat them. This is a valuable experience to add to your résumé, which could enhance your future career prospects.
You’ll gain plenty of practical experience in Ghana. During outreach programs, you’ll treat minor wounds and measure blood sugar and blood pressure levels. You’ll also help raise awareness of specific diseases and their prevention methods.
You’ll live and work in or outside Kumasi with a group of students your age and stay with a local host family. When you’re not working, we’ve organized plenty of social and cultural activities, including weekend trips, to keep you busy. Throughout your time in Ghana, OGVO staff will be available to assist you with any concerns.
This volunteering/internship is perfect if you’re a young student considering a future career in medicine. You’ll get medical work experience by shadowing doctors on their rounds and other activities.
