Medicine, the way
you've never seen it.

Healthcare internships abroad let you observe and take part in patient care during clinical experiences across East Africa — suited to pre-med students, undergraduates, medical students, residents, and practising healthcare workers.

Our hospital placements let you experience and compare a healthcare system unlike your own — different diseases, limited technology, and very different diagnostic and treatment options — while making an impact through our community outreach programs.

What You'll Gain

A medical placement in Africa will:

Improve your clinical skills and clinical knowledge by shadowing health professionals.
Expose you to various healthcare specialties, depending on your interest.
Give you the opportunity to witness unique conditions you've only read about in books — e.g. tropical diseases.
Challenge your critical thinking and inventiveness due to limited resources in the clinics.
Enhance your soft skills — communication, confidence, leadership, resilience and so much more.
Give you a chance to travel, unwind, grow your professional and social networks, and meet a new culture.
