Professional Internship & PreMed Programs

Independent Internship & Volunteer Programs - Developed for individuals who prefer to be on their own, with minimal in-country support, who are less interested in having planned social events/activities and other services & amenities arranged for them. The Program Fee for our Independent Program remains the same, regardless of the program duration. The majority of Independent programs are unpaid, full-time, professional placements. Although a stipend is requested, we are unable to guarantee it will be extended, as it is left to the discretion of the host employer.
Pre-Med Internship Programs - Our Pre-Med Programs are ideal for individuals looking to add an international medical component to their resume, in an effort to gain acceptance into a graduate program, or further enhance their medical training & exposure. Our Pre-Med programs offer hands-on, shadowing and field work experiences in a wide variety of medical arenas; including pediatrics, emergency, trauma care, maternity, nursing, physical therapy, public health, psychology and many more. Programs are customized for mature, self sufficient, professional individuals who do not require hand holding and planned social activities. Our Pre-Med Program Fee is consistent, regardless of program length, area of medicine and country visited.
