Shelter work focuses primarily on cats and dogs no longer cared for, have been abandoned, or were born feral. Shelters protect both animals and society from unsafe relationships and interactions. They provide immunizations and create a safe space for the animals to integrate into human society if possible. Our students help the staff check in new animals. They accompany the staff during board meetings. They carry out daily rounds to check in on animal welfare and health. When medical care is needed, they accompany the dogs or cats to the veterinarian.

India is the world’s largest democracy and is considered a newly industrialized country.

Funds for health in India have long focused largely on medical services, reflected in a lack of modern public health regulations and delivery of services. Travel to Delhi, India, the second most populous city on the planet. Join NGOs working to implement social reforms and improve public health outcomes through educational campaigns and trainings with emphasis on the spread of HIV/AIDS in India, tuberculosis, and management of infectious diseases. Learn about key public health challenges such as low rates of immunization, poor sanitation and waste management, and unsafe drinking water.

The project was created to supply essential medical treatment to vulnerable residents in India. Participating in this internship offers an invaluable experience to students specializing in medicine or nursing. They gain unparalleled exposure to an international healthcare system, often far more in-depth than the exposure they get in their home country. On the other hand, specialized medical volunteers gain insight into new techniques, allowing them to distinguish themselves from their peers. Medical internship assignments are based in a large hospital in South Delhi, an area close to some of the best shops and markets in the city and just 15 minutes from the volunteer house. Interns are paired with a local doctor, nurse, or other medical professional throughout their placement. While the internship is mostly observation-based, they have the opportunity to shadow and give basic assistance to patients.

Set goals
Before you pack your bags, clarify what you want to achieve personally and professionally during your internship in India. Having goals helps you choose the right field, destination, and program.
- Define your career path. Choose a field that aligns with your long-term goals and builds on your existing skills.

Things to know
India is vast, vibrant, and varied—being prepared helps you get the most from your internship abroad.
- Most internships are unpaid. Some offer housing or daily allowances, but you should budget for out-of-pocket expenses.
