Our medical Internship abroad program is designed to give real-world experience under a clinical setting to medical students. Instead of staying in your comfort zone, take your medical electives abroad, travel at the same time and meet a great team of international interns.
INLEX partners with clinics, small hospitals, labs, and treatment centers to provide opportunities for people to develop professionally and to help at the same time. By joining our program you will be placed in a clinic where you can learn skills by shadowing medical professionals and interacting with patients. Depending on your area of expertise and interest, we will match you with the best-suited option.
For interns that have experience in lab work, there is the opportunity to aid in laboratory diagnostics.
The medical intern program is meant for medical students 3rd year and above and professionals. Interns must be able to communicate in basic Spanish. If you do not know Spanish, we encourage you to take some medical Spanish classes with us before your internship.
If you are in the pre-med stage or the early stage of the health field, the health and medical volunteering program is best suited for you.
