Learn from real professional doctors by working with them in the different departments of a hospital.
With our Medicine Internships in Argentina, you can start your journey towards a great professional future. You will gain first-hand experience working alongside professionals from the different departments of a major city hospital and you will learn what their day-to-day life is like. When you’re with the doctors doing their rounds, you’ll see diseases and conditions you’ve only seen on TV or in textbooks. So get ready, ask, take notes and pay close attention to how they are all diagnosed and treated. You will gain practical experience in the profession, but you will also help in health promotion campaigns and medical outreach programs to provide basic health care.
Whether you are a student and want to get clinical experience for your training, or if you are interested in learning about medical professions to help you to decide on your future job, our Medicine Internships in Argentina is made for you. You will get valuable experience accompanying the doctors of a hospital and this may also help you with job interviews. In addition, you can take the opportunity to help in different departments to see which speciality you like the most. Internships take place throughout the year, so you can join whenever you want. You choose the dates that suit you best.

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. All the staff of the city’s clinics have extensive training.

Arrival airport

If you are going to work on this project, you should arrive at Cordoba International Airport (COR) where a member of our staff will be waiting to receive you.

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 this is the best way to immerse yourself in the Argentine lifestyle and have a 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.
