Medical internships are available for South Africans at VACorps. Are you considering a career as a nurse, physician’s assistant, or doctor? VACorps provides an excellent selection of medical internships in South Africa.

About the Medical Internships Programme for South Africans at VACorps

As a medical intern in our program, you will be working alongside qualified healthcare professionals at one of the community healthcare clinics or hospitals. Notably, South Africa faces many serious healthcare issues, including high rates of HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis – especially among women and young children. Therefore, there is a high demand for healthcare in low-income areas of the city and many public hospitals and clinics lack appropriate funding and access to primary care. The overall experience will give you first-hand access to South Africa’s public healthcare system and will teach you a wide range of skills that you’ll carry with you for a lifetime
