What recent interns said about their experience
I absolutely adored my host family! Super kind and very welcoming, I am leaving with so many amazing memories with them! They made the stay that much better and easier. Being welcomed into a family with open arms was not what I was expecting, yet I will cherish it forever!! My internship was a great experience and I am leaving with a new mindset and understanding of mental healthcare!
The staff at Intern Abroad HQ provided reliable and consistent support throughout my experience. Their open communication and willingness to help were very much appreciated and made the entire program feel well organized and supportive. This internship experience was incredibly fulfilling. I truly enjoyed immersing myself in the local culture through the food, meaningful conversations with my homestay family, and exploring Cusco on my own. One of the most rewarding aspects of the experience was the opportunity to learn from the patients at my clinic. Hearing their stories, building connections, and witnessing their resilience made my time there both personally meaningful and professionally inspiring.
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.
