Your places of assignment

Your activities will depend on your previous knowledge and focus. Primarily, you will accompany the staff and observe. You will gain insights into various areas, assist the medical staff and ask questions. Our team on the ground in South Africa will also be available to assist you.

Option to recognize a mandatory internship
If you would like to have your internship abroad recognized as part of your studies or training, be sure to find out in advance about the regulations at your university or training company. In this case, please inform us in advance about the requirements so that we can take them into account. After completing your stay abroad, you will receive a certificate of internship/participation from us.

Your typical workday during the internship
Your exact working hours will depend on your placement and will be discussed with you on site. In principle, you will work a maximum of 40 hours over five days. Since there are many patients in the medical field, for example in day clinics, even at weekends, you may also have the opportunity to work at weekends or on a night shift.
