Medical Internships in Ghana for Teenagers
Program Overview
Ready for an eye-opening medical adventure? Head to Ghana for a high-impact internship designed for students ages 15-18. You’ll live with a local host family, experiencing famous Ghanaian hospitality firsthand while working alongside a global team of teens. This program is the perfect way to see if a medical career is right for you, providing up to 50 hours of professional experience that will make your college applications stand out.
In the hospital, you’ll shadow doctors and nurses across different departments, learning how they diagnose and treat various conditions in a resource-limited setting. You’ll also get hands-on training in basic medical skills, which you'll also use during community outreaches.
When you aren't working, you’ll dive into Ghana’s vibrant culture through traditional dance, music, and local cuisine. Your weekend is packed with adventure, from walking the high canopy bridges of Kakum National Park, to visiting the historic Cape Coast Castle.
With 24/7 staff support and a structured itinerary, you'll gain professional confidence and life-changing memories with new friends from around the world.
