There is a real shortage of physical therapy skills in Nepal, so we provide interns of all abilities to observe and assist local doctors and physical therapists. You will find that the experience you gain will really help you to get an idea of how a busy physical therapy department works. If you are a trained physical therapist, you will find yourself busy and in demand from your first day.

Some of our interns work at rehabilitation centers for disabled children. These are located within the Kathmandu valley, from the ancient towns of Bhaktapur and Patan to those based on hilltops beside quaint villages on the outskirts of the capital city. Here interns often see cases with children who were born with polio or have had accidents that have not been treated correctly. Many placements deal with children with physical disabilities.

Or you might intern in Nepal Matri Griha - NMG - which is based just 20 minutes from Thamel in Kathmandu. NMG runs several health and therapy clinics that provide services to women and children who have been driven to poverty and displaced by conflict, unable to afford healthcare themselves.
