CUSTOMIZED INTERNSHIPS IN HOSPITALS OVERSEAS.
Imagine being right there, shadowing local healthcare specialists in an under-resourced hospital in the developing world. The departments lack equipment and patient volumes are high, but local staff still do everything they can to deliver care with what little they have. On our hospital internships you’ll learn how social, cultural and religious factors affect how care is delivered, see unfamiliar practices and conditions, and get meaningful insight into global health.
FLEXIBLE BOOKING
You can book your Work the World overseas placement with total confidence. Once you’ve booked your Work the World internship, you can make changes to your travel dates with no administration fees. Need a last-minute placement? We have developed a fast track that lets us plan and build you a world-class trip, faster than ever.
What are the benefits?
Our international healthcare internships sharpen your clinical knowledge and skills, develop your confidence, grow your professional network, and make you more attractive to employers. A volunteer experience like this also changes you as a person. You’ll learn a lot about yourself on your trip, and make lasting memories with the friends you meet along the way.
Where can I travel?
You have plenty of time for adventure too. Snowy mountains, paradise beaches, lush rainforests…. Whatever your style, we’ve got destinations to suit. You can choose from diverse locations across Asia and Africa. Each has a unique character, and our team will help you decide which one is your best match.
Enhanced safety measures
You’ll find peace of mind in the knowledge that our well-established safety measures help mitigate the risks associated with Covid, whichever destination you travel to. This is because our safety blueprint gives us control over each and every aspect of your experience from your in-country team's safety training to sanitization of your private accommodation.
