Term: Throughout the year 
Dates: Completely Flexible - You decide your start and end dates

Description: It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of Nepalese, especially women and children, suffer unnecessarily due to a lack of basic medical care. Working at a hospital or clinic is an opportunity to provide a much needed service and learn firsthand about basic healthcare in a third world country. If you have interest or experience in a particular field, let us know and we will try to create a program tailored to you. Here, the intern will be able to receive hands-on experience administering care to the people of Nepal. Your level of responsibility will be determined by your enthusiasm and your aptitude to learn new things. Interns are often invited to observe in the OR for educational opportunities. Even as a pre-med, you may end up doing ultra-sounds, x-rays, injections, etc. This is a great program for serious students who are ready to roll-up their sleeves and learn from Nepali professionals!

Highlights: Do great work in a country that will leave a lasting impression on you. Kathmandu is a sprawling, polluted city with elements of the western world, but steeped in tradition as well. There are endless things to do and see. There is also a thriving tourist district for those who crave a pizza, a hamburger, or English language bookstores. It is a city where you can escape the West or not, depending on your preference.

Qualifications / Skills Needed: Pre-med classes, some clinical experience helpful.
