Nursing Internships
Nursing interns are in high demand in Kenya due to understaffed local facilities. Participants have the opportunity to observe and learn from qualified nurses as they fulfill their daily responsibilities within reputable medical institutions. This hands-on experience allows interns to immerse themselves in the field of nursing and gain practical skills in a supportive environment.
Medical Internships
Medical Interns are paired with experienced mentor clinicians who provide guidance and support in navigating the hospital environment and understanding medical procedures and protocols. This mentorship offers a unique perspective on healthcare delivery in developing countries, enriching participants' professional development.
Midwifery Internships
In midwifery internships, individuals are placed within hospital midwifery wards, shadowing experienced practitioners to gain firsthand insight into hospital operations in developing countries. This immersive experience facilitates connections with individuals from diverse backgrounds while providing invaluable learning opportunities.
