What recent interns said about their experience
This experience was far better than I ever could have imagined! From the wonderful homestay to the amazing things that I got to learn/do in the clinic, I couldn't have asked for anything better! My host family was extremely nice and supportive the entire time. They went above and beyond to make me feel included in Peru. I feel like I learned so much in the clinic and working with the national track team of Peru. I will definitely use all of these skills in my job in the future! Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity!
Everything was perfect overall—thank you so much for the excellent guidance and support! What I enjoyed the most was having the opportunity to be present and assist with three baby deliveries—the first ones I’ve ever experienced. It was incredibly meaningful and unforgettable. This internship helped me understand how the health system works in Peru, especially in a small clinic setting. It also deepened my understanding of the importance of empathy and human connection when treating patients, which will definitely influence the way I approach care in the future.
What I enjoyed the most is how during my internship, I was placed with other students that were on the same career path as me. This made me happy and eager to keep on going with my goals. The doctors there were also great and learning about their culture was very interesting to me.
I really enjoyed the culture of Peru!
