Description:

If you’ve got a passion for the medical and public health fields, you can play a valued and meaningful role by volunteering your time and enthusiasm in the Argentine capital – not to mention it’s also an excellent way to hone your skills. Medical volunteer opportunities in Buenos Aires can include working in public health policy, health education, or directly with patients in a state or private hospital, or a smaller NGO or foundation.

Buenos Aires offers an array of clinical opportunities for medical and health care interns. Medical and health care interns will not only learn about the unique medical challenges that Latin America faces, but also experience Argentinian medical practices first-hand.

Pre-med and nursing students will have opportunities at large, state-funded hospitals and work on daily basis with doctors and nurses, learning about protocols, medical equipment and procedures and interacting with patients. Opportunities include observation of the latest medical treatments and may also include having the opportunity to attend relevant lectures alongside Argentinian medical students.

We can also find medical internship opportunities at foundations that focus on the treatment of patients with various conditions such as cancer, HIV, neurological disorders, and autoimmune disorders. Projects in smaller medical facilities might include patient interviews and helping patients with physical therapy and occupational therapy exercises.

Previous medical and health care intern activities have involved examining x-rays, symptoms and biological processes, attending to wards, collaborating in public health campaigns, providing primary assistance to patients and even helping in the delivery room! Our Buenos Aires medical and health care internships will be designed in consultation with you and the organization, so that both benefit from the experience.
