Medical Nursing and Public Health Internship in Tanzania

Summary

Art in Tanzania helps small community clinics in the villages and larger hospitals. Tanzania needs professional medical staff. Assisting in developing healthcare can also provide valuable experience working in a country with limited medical facilities. 

Details

Art in Tanzania has been operating since 1996. Our community placements attract about 250 participants annually. Our vision is to give students hands-on experience working in developing African communities. In addition to your studies, you will have an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience of African culture and life, as well as a fantastic natural environment and diverse wildlife.

Art in Tanzania's community medical support team works in Dar es Salaam. In the Madale village medical support program, we can combine small village clinics with a larger hospital to provide comprehensive care.

Medical programs include clinical and Public Health placements.

The public health program focuses on educating and supporting village communities across nutrition, sports and exercise, art therapy, sustainability, and other relevant fields.

Internal medicine

Paediatricians

Tanzanian pharmacists fall short of Western standards. Specifically, small village pharmacies need training and advocacy to develop their prototypes.

The medical program also includes HIV/AIDS counselling, advocacy, testing, and events to raise awareness.

The internship aims to apply your studies and experience in a developing-country setting.

Work hours are 8 hours per day, Monday through Friday.

The program is ongoing, so the start dates are adjustable. Your placement is tailored to your background, experience, and interests, empowering our daily work with the communities.

Daily tasks include practical fieldwork, planning, reporting, and visibility work.

The start and end dates are flexible, as all programs are ongoing, with many having run since 1996.

You and your visiting friends can enjoy low-cost, sustainable safaris and tours.

We typically have 15–40 students from diverse parts of the world, representing over 400 universities with which we collaborate, as well as various professions.

Note that Erasmus+ funding can be applied for the training in Tanzania. You can ask your student office about the grant options.
