This exciting program offers internships for participants currently studying medicine. Placements are available in several notable private and public full-service hospitals in Chiang Mai. In all cases, volunteers/interns can work closely with a supervising physician and are paired with a full-time doctor they shadow on daily rounds. Interns are only placed with doctors with an exceptional command of English. They are highly qualified professionals, many of whom have been educated in the US or the UK. Responsibilities vary according to individual qualifications, experience, and/or comfort level. Participants with a full medical degree often enjoy far more access when administering care and interacting with patients. However, it is important to note that most interns only observe or help with minor tasks. Despite careful monitoring of the supervising staff in every aspect of the internship, it’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for medical students, considering they would never get the same level of “behind-the-scenes” experience in a Western hospital.

Things to know

- Pay and expenses - While Thailand's affordable cost of living means you can live comfortably on a budget, most internships only offer a small salary or stipend to cover essentials like food and transportation.
- Accommodations - For a few months' stay, a homestay provides an immersive cultural experience, while hostels are suitable for short visits, and apartments offer stability for internships lasting six months or more.
- Visas for Thailand - An education visa is necessary for internships in Thailand, requiring a valid passport, proof of funds, a completed visa application, and passport-sized photos. It’s valid for three months and extendable up to a year.
- Language barrier - In business and tourism, English often suffices, but learning basic Thai phrases shows respect and helps foster deeper connections with locals, enhancing your overall cultural experience.
Work culture - Clarify workplace expectations early by asking questions, observe and learn from colleagues to adapt quickly, and explore life outside of work to find your balance in the new environment.
