Are you looking for travel abroad and experience a different health care system? Hospitals in India are not the same as hospitals in developed countries. Imagine getting to know about different healthcare systems and helping others with limited resources. A great sense of fulfillment and satisfaction indeed.
The platform to share your compassion and medical skills among those who are in need. Also, the opportunity for you to challenge yourself, step out of your comfort zone and discover the best version of you. The medical internship program is a great learning experience that goes beyond textbooks and lectures in different medical disciplines. It’s a cross-cultural experience for medical students and doctors who want to gain personal development and leave an impact.
We are connected with local hospitals and clinics in and around the town that need medical interns. You will be working in local hospitals and community clinics in Palampur and nearby villages. Doctors will guide and walk you through the diagnoses, and share their knowledge about the methods and techniques they use to treat the patients. You will also get practical experience by conducting health checks and consulting patients in the local communities.
