High School Study Abroad in Tamale, Ghana

Our Generation Voluntary Organisation offers a unique four-week internship for graduating high school sophomores and juniors who wish to pursue a career in medicine. The organization accepts candidates recommended by the teacher or counselor. Interns will work alongside experienced local healthcare professionals. Under their mentoring, interns will learn to identify challenges in the local community's public health. They will also learn to develop the capacity to think systemically and become successful in their future pre-med degree. The interns' learning ability and skills will be further honed by completing a project that focuses on a specific health challenge. Interns will conduct in-depth research and then provide a final presentation. This will be a form of recommendation for ways the organization can engage local staff and future volunteers to assist with the resolution of such challenges.
