New 1 Week Medical Internship Placements!

Announcing an Exciting Change to our Thailand Medical Internship!

We’ve reduced the minimum participation in our Medical Internship from two weeks, to one!

Current students or recent graduates of health care studies programs can now partake in the program for a one week minimum. Although this is a shorter time commitment, the program will still be amazing. This is great news for people who have always wanted to take part, but were never able to commitment to a two week commitment. This new change is effective for both our Bangkok and Chiang Mai based programs.

As part of this medical internship in Thailand, you’ll be paired with a full-time doctor or nurse and will shadow this person on daily rounds from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday. These are highly qualified professionals, many of whom have been educated in the US or UK. Interns are only placed with doctors with an exceptional command of English.

This assignment during your medical internship in Thailand is primarily observation based. You’ll follow your doctor or nurse on daily rounds while they consult with patients, administer treatment, and perform operations. Each stage of observation is carefully monitored and regulated to ensure the safety and comfort of the patients involved.
