Internship Details

Join a Medical internship in Kathmandu! Medical interns have the opportunity to rotate through key departments such as Cardiology, Pediatrics, and Surgery. Observe doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals in action. Enhance your understanding of hospital workflows, patient assessment processes, and doctor-patient interactions within a Nepali healthcare setting.

This observation-based Medical internship program provides hospital experience, within a 100-bed multi-specialty private facility in Kathmandu. The hospital is equipped with Nepal’s first modular operating theatre and provides a broad range of services, making it a valuable placement for students seeking clinical exposure.

Medical interns observe hospital staff across different departments, including outpatient consultations, inpatient rounds, minor procedures, and case discussions when available. Interns are not directly responsible or engaged with “hands-on” patient care; however, the internship experience and role is dynamic, immersive, and educational, offering insight into healthcare delivery in a fast-paced, resource-conscious environment.

Typical activities include observing consultations in outpatient and inpatient departments, attending ward rounds, watching minor surgical procedures, and learning about medical diagnostics and treatment protocols.

Interns should expect that the first week of your experience will focus on settling in and gaining some introductory knowledge, to build an understanding of what you can develop, learn, and contribute. Interns are encouraged to ask questions and provide feedback, so that your supervisor(s) understands how you’re progressing and can assist to develop your internship accordingly. Interns should expect that a language barrier can be encountered to a certain extent. Come prepared and willing to surmount a language barrier (and ask for help when needed), as opposed to being intimidated by it.

Typical Schedule: Monday to Friday, up to 40 hours per week. Specific tasks and schedules may vary based on hospital needs.
