The health sector is incredibly broad, diverse and ever-changing. Medical and public health internships abroad offer valuable insight into the health industry, and the chance to develop a new perspective. We offer internships with health-related organizations in many different parts of the world, from hospitals in Colombia to nonprofits in Dublin. The professional and personal benefits of interning in another country’s healthcare system are innumerable. These competitive experiences are the perfect way to stand out when applying for top graduate programs and jobs.
We’re no longer offering internships in Medical Electives & Public Health, but we offer internships in many other career fields that we believe would be a great opportunity for you!
Our alumni have interned at 3000+ organizations including:

We also work with clinical trial administrators and charitable hospital foundations, meaning there is a range of options well-suited to candidates who envision a future in nursing, medical research, public health advocacy, or another healthcare-related sector. A public health internship provides the competitive edge required to be accepted to top positions and medical schools.
