Overview
Our Medical Internship program is designed to give real-world experience under a clinical setting to medical students, professionals, and people in healthcare.
We partner with clinics, small hospitals, labs, and treatment centers to provide opportunities for people to develop professionally and to help at the same time. By joining our program you will be placed in a clinic where you can learn skills by shadowing medical professionals and interacting with patients. Depending on your area of expertise and interest, we will match you with the best suited option.
For interns that have experience in lab work, there is the opportunity to aid in laboratory diagnostics.
