 Program Name: Medicine and Healthcare Internship in Ghana with Projects Abroad
Organization: Projects Abroad
About Projects Abroad: Projects Abroad was founded in 1992 when Dr. Peter Slowe, a university professor, realized the need for international programs that involve travelling and working abroad at the same time. A couple of his students approached him with an idea of spending a gap year in Eastern Europe. Knowing some colleagues in Romania, Dr. Peter Slowe set up a teaching English program for his students which gave a jump start to Projects Abroad.
Student by student Projects Abroad began sending participants on Teach English Abroad programs in Eastern Europe. Realizing the need for international volunteers in developing countries, Projects Abroad began growing and expanding its programs to many other countries all over the world. In addition to volunteer programs, Project Abroad now offers international internships as well.
Whether you are 16 or 75, a high school student or a retired professional, volunteering overseas is something that will change your life forever. No matter what your background or age is, Projects Abroad will find the right volunteer or internship abroad program for you!
Highlights: Ghana is a fascinating country to participate in a medical internship abroad for any student. This Medicine and Healthcare internship takes place in hospitals based in Accra, Akuapem Hills, Cape Coast, Kumasi, and Ho. In each one of these cities, interns work at local hospitals with patients who have a wide variety of illnesses and medical conditions. Interns will also do rotations between many departments to gain more experience. This medical internship abroad gives every student an opportunity to work in emergency, pediatrics, maternity, accidents, physical therapy, pharmacy and even surgical departments!
Interns will see a lot of patients with malaria and typhoid which is not very common in North America and Europe. This medical internship abroad also gives you an opportunity to work with children and orphanages for regular check-ups and basic healthcare treatment. Whether you want to work in a busy city hospital or a local rural clinic in a more remote area, Projects Abroad will find the right internship that fits your skills and interest the most
