CLINICAL/HEALTH INTERNSHIP/VOLUNTEER PROGRAM IN NEPAL
Length
Medical Tour: Minimum of 2 weeks and Maximum of 6 Weeks.
Medical Internship: Minimum of 2 weeks and Maximum of 20 Weeks.
Our Medical Tour/Internship Program places doctors, nurses, and medical school students in hospitals and clinics in Nepal. You work in either a urban or rural setting, providing primary care to locals in your specialty.
We have standing requests from local facilities for Internists, Urologists, Surgeons, Oncologists, Opthamologists, Nurses, Dentists, and EMT's. You will play a critical role in the villages and towns where you'll serve.
Medical school students' activities will include things like following doctors on their rounds, exploring different treatments for simple ailments, providing physical therapy, and participating in vaccination programs.
Depending on the timing of your visit, you will have the opportunity to visit large general hospitals, maternity clinics, children's hospitals, HIV/AIDS wards, and alternative-medicine clinics. Your visits will be given some context by local doctors and nurses who will discuss issues such as typical illnesses/treatments and the general state of health care in the country.

Medical Elective/Internship Program
Trip Description
Upon arrival, students will coordinate with our project staff to map out an intern rotation and daily work schedule at Kanti Children’s Hospital/Kathmandu Medical College. Students work from Sunday to Friday. Work at Kanti ends everyday at 1pm; students will have the opportunity to volunteer at the other hospital in the afternoon. CGN encourages participants to plan recreational activities, travel, and exploration of Nepal’s numerous sights and attractions when they are not volunteering in the hospitals or medical clinics.
Standing adjacent to the Tribhuval University Teaching Hospital (TUTH), Kanti Children's Hospital is an ideal location for aspiring pediatric doctors to gain clinical experience. Working 9am to 1pm from Sunday to Saturday, program participants may interact with children in the physical therapy, ICU, radiology, surgery, and burn units, depending on the hospital needs at that time:
Physical Therapy - Care for children with brain damage and other physically disabling diseases by playing motor coordination games and teaching them arm and leg exercises
Surgery - Observe the operating room and become familiar with the procedures and conditions of the hospital
Burn Unit - Interact with the children and parents on a personal level by leading recuperative physical exercises, playing games, and dressing the children.
Family Planning and Immunization - Shadow hospital staff as they teach women and children about medication and learn about the available contraception and immunizations in Nepal.
Emergency Room - Observe the main ER physician as he conducts his rounds
