Medical Programs
1. Medical Internship in hospital/clinic
Medical placements are available for practicing professionals, medical students, nursing students, and pre-meds.
It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of Nepalese people, especially women and children, suffer unnecessarily due to a lack of basic medical care. Working at a hospital or clinic is an opportunity to provide a much needed service and learn firsthand about basic healthcare in an underdeveloped country. If you have an interest or experience in a particular field, contact us and we will work to create a program tailored to you.
Whatever you choose, when you leave Nepal, you may find that you are drawn back again and again.
