Physiotherapy Internship for High School Students in Nepal

If you’re a teenager interested in getting a closer look at physiotherapy, this High School Special is a great option for you. It’s also a good fit if you’re eager to explore physiotherapy as a potential career. It will add relevant work experience to your CV, and give you interesting points to talk about in university applications and interviews.

You don’t need previous experience to join. Your role is strictly observational, and staff will take the time to explain what they’re doing and why. In addition, you can reach out to our staff at any time.

Our Physiotherapy internship for teen-agers in Nepal takes place on fixed dates for two weeks in the summer. It follows a set itinerary, with Projects Abroad staff on hand to provide guidance and constant supervision. When you’re not working, you’ll be having fun with the rest of your group on activities and trips we’ve organized.

The aim of this project is to give you physiotherapy work experience in a developing country.

You’ll learn directly from physiotherapists in a large teaching hospital and a spinal injury centre. We’ll show you different methods of treatment, and what techniques are used to treat specific conditions and illnesses. When you have a chance, do some research to see if the same procedures are practiced in your home country. Think about why there might be some differences.

The placements we work with aim to give disadvantaged communities access to quality medical care. Getting medical care can be a challenge in these communities, especially since 25% of Nepal’s population lives below the poverty line.

Join a Physiotherapy High School Special in Nepal and broaden your knowledge of physiotherapy practices in a developing country.

You will complete our Physiotherapy internship in Chitwan, Nepal. You will live in a hotel, and do observation work in a teaching hospital or in a spinal injury centre.

Known as the Medical City of Nepal, Chitwan is home to a variety of top-rated medical institutions.

Drawing people from all across the country, northern India and other parts of the Himalayan region, it’s become something of a medical tourism hot spot over the past few years.

When you’re not working, we’ve organized social and cultural activities to keep you busy, along with a weekend trip to Chitwan National Park.
