What recent interns said about their experience
This opportunity helped me with my cultural competency knowledge.
It has opened my eyes to how lucky we are to have the NHS in the UK. It has also made me realise how lucky we are to have all of the caring and compassion nurses in the UK who want to help, care and treat people.
I enjoyed the hospital environment. I got to see, learn and experience a lot. The doctors were very welcoming and I got to do a lot more than I thought.
I most enjoyed the lifelong friendships I’ve made along the way. The networking is so so important for my personal and professional development.
I learned so much throughout my four week internship in Zanzibar. I got the opportunity to shadow different departments of the hospital and to witness the day to day problems that the doctors worked through. It was a great learning experience, and I will forever remember the doctors, nurses, patients, and other interns that I met along the way!
I enjoyed so much about my time in Zanzibar. My internship was informative and enjoyable, it positively contributed to my drive to pursue a career in psychology and a passion for traveling.
