Healthcare Internships In Cambodia

A medical internship in Cambodia is an excellent choice if you want to broaden your clinical expertise. In our partner hospital, you’ll observe how resourceful staff have become having adapted to a debilitating lack of resources. You’ll also encounter cases that, for a variety of reasons, you’re unfamiliar with. We offer an exceptional variety of internship options in Phnom Penh. You can choose to spend time in a range of departments, including emergency and OBG.

You’ll gain experience across a range of departments, in some cases assisting in the treatment of conditions including malaria, influenza, diarrhea, tuberculosis, and HIV. Thanks to a diversity of cases and a lack of resources, you’ll observe practices and techniques that you may never have seen before. As a result, you’ll gain entirely new perspectives on delivering healthcare. Cambodia is a great choice if you want to understand the realities nurses face in a developing healthcare system.

On your midwifery internship in Cambodia, you’ll spend time in our partner hospital found in the country’s capital. The labor ward sees a considerable number of births, which gives you a greater chance to see a more diverse range of cases than you would at home. When it comes to the cases themselves, you’ll almost certainly see some birthing complications, and see how HIV affects both mother and baby. Through it all, you’ll see how staff employ creativity to make up for the severe lack of resources.

Undertake your physical therapy internship in Cambodia and you will find out how local staff treat a high volume of patients with limited resources.

Find out what it’s like to be an paramedic student abroad in our partner hospital in Cambodia. The ED here is understaffed and therefore busy. Local staff face another disadvantage — the lack of equipment here means doctors and nurses have to improvise many treatments. Worsening matters, bed space is at a premium in the department. You might even see patients laying in mattresses on the floor. Patients present with a broad range of cases, so you could see COPD, attempted suicides and everything in between.

On a radiology Internship in Cambodia, you’ll learn that the realities of healthcare in the developing world can be confronting. But you’ll also discover how rapidly the field of radiology has developed in recent years. The department often uses older equipment, so you could learn how to process X-ray film in the hospital’s darkroom. You’ll shadow specialists on ward rounds, and assist in imaging and diagnosing a range of cases. This internship will help you fulfil your potential as a professional radiologist.

A pharmacy internship in Phnom Penh will highlight the challenges of delivering healthcare in a way that staying at home simply couldn’t.
