Medical, Nursing and Healthcare Volunteering in Peru
Program Overview
Medical work experience abroad is suitable for medical students and professionals from any medical background or discipline, offering invaluable experience. Peru is a great place for medical students to learn a lot, as treatment, diagnosis, and infrastructure often differ significantly from Western medicine.
Our medical placements are designed to give you structured, supervised medical work experience while also allowing you to experience Peruvian culture, making it the perfect immersive travel experience. We can organise medical volunteering opportunities across all areas of medicine, but we particularly specialise in invaluable placements in midwifery, physiotherapy, physician assistant, and malnutrition.
