Medical Internship :
What to Expect

This internship in Mongolia is perfect for any person studying law and looking to give their CV an extra edge in this competitive field.

You’ll learn from professional lawyers in a busy law firm. This will help you stand out during postgraduate or job applications. It will also give you a global perspective on how law is practised in developing countries. This will provide you with interesting talking points in interviews.

In order to do this Law internship, you must have completed at least one year of law-related studies. Law graduates interested in getting more practical experience are also welcome to apply. Our staff will ensure that the work you do is appropriate for your level of expertise.

English is also an important part of this internship as lawyers either speak Mongolian or English, or both. You should have an intermediate English level. This means you’ll need to be comfortable reading, writing, and speaking in English.

You can join at any time throughout the year and stay for as little as four weeks. To get the most out of the experience, we recommend staying as long as possible.

In Mongolia, you’ll shadow doctors at hospitals and get practical experience at community outreaches. Here are a few of the tasks you’ll be involved in:

  • Shadow and observe doctors and nurses on their rounds at a local hospital
  • Attend medical training workshops and learn basic healthcare skills
  • Complete basic health checks during a community outreach, under the supervision of medical staff
  • Experience Mongolian culture and explore with interns your own age

Typical Day

The aim of this internship is to provide medical work experience for teenagers in Mongolia. This will help you decide if medicine is the right career for you. We give you the opportunity to do this by having you shadow doctors on their rounds at a hospital. This will give you a better idea of what it’s like to be a doctor.

In Mongolia, basic medical services are not always available in disadvantaged areas. We’re working to change this by going out into these communities and doing free basic health checks. You’ll be part of this work, and we’ll teach you basic medical skills. These include measuring blood pressure and blood sugar levels.

Outreach work not only gives you the opportunity to do hands-on work under supervision, it also demonstrates your commitment to helping people in need. This is an important aspect of a medical career.

Join a medical internship for teenagers in Mongolia, and gain medical work experience while giving back to disadvantaged communities.

Ulaanbaatar

You’ll live and work with other teenagers in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia’s capital city.

This industrialised city is a striking contrast to the open plains that make up most of Mongolia. There are fast food joints next to high-end clothing stores, and museums down the road from karaoke bars. Through the chaotic traffic and constant busy air, Ulaanbaatar will never fail to excite and intrigue you!

As a medical intern, you’ll work at several hospitals throughout the city. You’ll also take part in community outreaches in disadvantaged areas. Projects Abroad staff will be with you at all times.

Food and accommodation

You’ll share accommodation with other Projects Abroad volunteers and interns during your stay in Ulaanbaatar. This is a great way to get to know your fellow volunteers and interns, share experiences, and explore your surroundings in your time together.

On our High School Specials, we will always try to have you share a room with at least one volunteer or intern of the same sex and approximate age. Your room will be modest, but comfortable, clean, and safe.

Your programme fees include three meals a day.
