Health internship program

Health & Medical Electives Internship Program

We provide first class and affordable, fully packaged Medical Elective programs in Latin America, for medical students from across the world. Our programs are based on removing all the logistical issues surrounding elective projects for you, ensuring you can fully concentrate on your training. We are committed to ensuring that the future doctors of tomorrow can experience first-hand the diverse and evolving nature of healthcare delivery in Latin America, while also enjoying one of the most eclectic cultures and landscapes of the world! We are partners with a hand-picked selection of first-class private and public hospitals in Medellin, Colombia.

The roles are active, hands-on roles where you will be interacting with patients. We provide talented interns to our partner companies in the following areas: Accident & Emergency, General Surgery, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Clinical Medicine and Psychiatry.

You must have completed at least 2 years of medical school to be eligible for our electives.

We also require that you have some Spanish language skills. By this we mean at least 2 years Spanish language study during High School. Alternatively, if you have no Spanish language skills and you wish to complete our medical elective program, we recommend an intensive 2 week+ language course in Colombia immediately before starting your elective. We will arrange this for you with our partner university.
