Our Medicine Internships in Argentina offer a unique opportunity to shadow experienced doctors across different departments of a major city hospital. You’ll observe real cases, medical routines, and healthcare challenges that go far beyond the classroom—an invaluable perspective for your future in the field.
Interns accompany doctors during rounds, gaining insight into how diagnoses are made and treatments are planned. You’ll witness conditions and cases that bring your textbooks to life and develop a deeper understanding of the healthcare system in Latin America.
Outside the hospital, you’ll get involved in hands-on community outreach and health promotion campaigns that bring essential care to underserved populations. These activities, along with interactive workshops, give you the chance to participate, contribute, and grow as a future health professional.
Whether you’re already in medical school or just exploring a career in healthcare, this internship will help clarify your goals, boost your resume, and give you something meaningful to talk about in future interviews. Programs run year-round and are fully customizable—you choose when to start and how long to stay.
Your Tasks
You will work both in a hospital and in small community clinics mainly carrying out the following activities:
- Observe and learn directly from doctors and nurses.
- Attend medical conferences and workshops.
- Provide basic medical care and promote health in public health programs.
We offer internships in a wide range of hospital departments, including Cardiology, Dermatology, Gynecology, Hematology, Maternity, Neurology, Orthopedics, Psychiatry, Radiology, and Surgery (Operating Room). If you’re interested in a specific area not listed here, just let us know—we’ll do our best to accommodate your request and match you with the right department for your learning goals.
Normally your supervisor will assign you to a different department each week, so if you stay for a short time, you won’t be able to see them all. The longer you stay, the more departments you can visit, but if you are interested in one in particular, please contact us.

Where in Argentina will I work?
Your project will be carried out in the city of Córdoba, the second-largest city in Argentina. This young and dynamic city is one of the friendliest in the country. In addition, the city is home to world-class medical institutions, with one of the best health systems by Latin American standards.
Food and accommodation
You will stay with a host family in Córdoba. They will welcome you into their home and will be happy to share their customs and learn about your culture. We believe that this is the best way to immerse yourself in the Argentine lifestyle and have a truly unique experience. Your room will be simple, but comfortable, clean and safe. The cost of the program includes three meals a day.
Leisure
Argentina is a vibrant South American country full of colours and cultural heritage. As well as contributing to worthwhile projects, travelling to Argentina with us means you’ll be able to explore this fascinating country. Spend the afternoon enjoying a coffee in Plaza San Martín, with its street artists and its iconic statue of General José de San Martín. You can take a weekend trip to the mountains. The surrounding nature is impressive and a horseback ride through the nature trails is also worthwhile. There are cultural experiences, such as the Evita Superior Museum of Fine Arts or the Teatro del Libertador General San Martín. You can also learn about the country’s history at local museums and visit the birthplace of Che Guevara. There are probably other volunteers in Argentina, so you can explore on your own or with a group of volunteers from different projects.
What recent volunteers said about their Mondify experience
Spanish language lessons
Fluency in Spanish is not a prerequisite for participating in Mondify’s programs in Córdoba, Argentina. However, certain projects may have limitations for volunteers with limited language proficiency. Therefore, Mondify strongly recommends that volunteers take advantage of the affordable Spanish courses offered exclusively to program participants. Previous volunteers have found that these classes significantly enhance day-to-day volunteer work and facilitate communication with local communities. Taught by professional Spanish instructors and tailored to each individual’s specific needs, the classes vary in duration and intensity. For instance, the Dynamic Spanish Immersion Course includes 25 group classes per week, totaling 3 hours and 45 minutes daily, while the Rapid Language Mastery Program offers 37 group classes per week, with 5 hours and 30 minutes of daily instruction. These lessons are arranged with your Mondify Program Manager prior to your departure to Argentina.
