What recent interns said about their experience
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!
What I enjoyed the most was just the experience of shadowing professionals in another country and getting to witness how the work is conducted in Peru. Luckily, all the professionals were really lovely, encouraged me to ask questions and explained the different diagnoses, treatments etc., so that I really got to learn a lot!
The ability to be fully immersed in the Spanish language was what I enjoyed most. I definitely feel like my Spanish skills have improved greatly after this experience, and it was wonderful to learn about Peruvian culture. My internship involved travelling to a local centro de salud in the city of Cusco to shadow and assist doctors and nurses. I assisted the obstetrician, the nurses in the children’s department, and the doctor in the general medicine area. It has shown me the inner workings of a medical clinic, allowing me to familiarise myself with the routines and protocols involved. I am on the path to become a Physician Assistant, and I have also learned that I really enjoy working with kids, meaning that a future in Paediatrics may be ahead!
