Argentina Internships

The program managers were very helpful and gave me enough information and support for me to feel comfortable in Argentina. I enjoyed meeting the other students in the program and the program directors who were super supportive during my 4 week stay. I also enjoyed staying with my host family, they were great people, my host mom cooked amazing food, and I will miss them greatly.

My internship placement also allowed me to meet wonderful people who care a great deal about their community and the lives/ health of the mothers and children in that community. The children at my internship placement were very caring, sweet kids, and they were very respectful towards me. Overall, this experience was amazing and I came from it feeling better about my ability to immerse myself in a new culture with an open mind.

I had an incredible experience in Cordoba, Argentina. My internship taught me about the political impact I can personally have in these contexts and my ability to adapt quickly. I worked on a project that educates local government bodies on Migration management and had the chance to meet with the ambassador of Costa Rica. I learnt about a whole new way of expressing and receiving love on a grand scale and will forever be grateful for my Program Manager and Local Team for making this possible. Thank you!

I enjoyed every minute I've been able to be here in Córdoba. I have loved this experience and it has truly changed my life and helped me figure out what I want to do when I am older and out of school. This internship propelled me further towards my long-term goals of working within the healthcare field. Not only have the experiences allowed me to apply what I had learned in a classroom, but they have also allowed me to picture myself working alongside other doctors in a hospital setting. If anything, this internship and learning experience has set me up for success with regards to the career path I intend to pursue.

I loved getting to know the program directors and people in my program through our nighttime classes. The hospital and Spanish classes taught me a lot, but being emmersed in Argentine activities like mate class was such a great way to make friends, practice the language, and learn more about the culture. I love the closeness and opened that Argentine people have with each other. I feel much more empowered to ask questions even when I think it might be annoying or an inconvenience. In the hospital I got a lot of reassurance that my questions were good and the doctors took a lot of time to answer them and make me feel heard.
