Medical Internship :
Typical Day

Your Medical internship group in Nepal will be based in the Chitwan District. This area is home to some of the best medical institutions in the country so you know there’ll be plenty to learn. You’ll get to observe the work of healthcare professionals as you rotate through various departments in the hospital. You’ll even get to sit in on medical lectures with local students at a teaching hospital.

Chitwan is one of the biggest cities in Nepal but it is still dominated largely by rural areas and forests. Because of this, you can find some of the most diverse species of flora and fauna in Chitwan National Park. Expect to find Bengal tigers, rhinos and mugger crocodiles amidst the dense forests.

Food and Accomodation

You’ll share accommodation with other Projects Abroad volunteers and interns during your stay in Chitwan. 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 Team Trips, 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.
