Practice Medicine in India’s Himalayas

September 25, 2020

This is a great opportunity for pre-med, medical and nursing students, volunteers will gain professional experience by working on a medical project in Palampur, India. Interns will assist medical professionals while treating patients through hands-on tasks that vary based on an individual's level of experience. Internships take place in hospitals, clinics, medical colleges and community clinics in Palampur, a town known for its tea gardens and breathtaking views of the Himalayas. Volunteers rest in homestays located just 25 miles from Dharamshala, home of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government-in-exile. As an added bonus, volunteers will receive weekly yoga classes. A two-week trip costs £925 ($1,183 as of Sept. 12 with a fluctuating exchange rate), which can be extended up to 12 weeks for £2,805 (currently $3,588).
