Interning with Projects Abroad on a Medicine & Healthcare project in the Philippines allows you to gain valuable medical experience abroad. In the Philippines you will work alongside some extremely skilled and talented doctors and nurses in an exciting and challenging environment. While the facilities in the hospitals and health centers are generally of a good standard, as a medical intern you are likely to encounter some diseases and conditions that are less common than in North America and Europe. The standard of patient care and the role of patients’ families may also be different from what you are used to in your home country. It is preferred that Medicine & Healthcare interns in the Philippines have completed at least one year of medicine or healthcare related studies or trainin...
Program Highlights
Interns have the opportunity to shadow doctors in a number of different departments in one or more of Cebu City’s several hospitals or health centers.
Cebu hospitals also receive many local trainee and student doctors and nurses, so you may be working alongside other interns. This is a great way to share knowledge and learn from each other.
Your working hours will usually be decided on a weekly basis. Most interns work from Monday to Friday and have the weekends free.
When you are not working, you will live with a local host family, who will provide your meals and a real taste of Filipino hospitality.
In your free time, there is plenty to do in and around Cebu City and you will be part of the wider Projects Abroad volunteer network in the Philippines.

Medical internship in the Philippines
by: EllinaProgram: Volunteer Medical Internships in the PhilippinesProjects abroad is an amazing company that goes above and beyond to ensure your experience is incredible. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and always ensure your safety. For the project itself (medical internship,) it’s so involved and active, a lot more than I imagined. During the two week project we assisted in the OPD and ER, supported patients in the rehabilitation centre (both indoors and in the sea,) spent time observing and assisting in the rural health unit, observed multiple surg...
Two weeks in the Philippines
by: AmaneProgram: Volunteer Medical Internships in the PhilippinesI had an extremely amazing experience in the Philippines. I got to not only see and observe the patients but also interact with them and go into both minor and major surgery rooms to see people getting cut up. For example, I got to see births of babies in a surgery room and although it was a little new to me and a bit grotesque, it made me want to become a doctor even more in that it looked really exciting. I also really liked the food here. The food on: the streets, restaurants and home- they w...
