Nutrition Internships Abroad

Support disadvantaged communities while gaining work experience on a Nutrition internship abroad

A Nutrition internship abroad is an ideal way to learn more about healthcare practice in a different country while deepening your understanding of global food issues. You’ll gain first-hand nutrition work experience which will prepare you for a career in the field.

As an intern, you can complete your internship in a number of different settings. These include hospitals, clinics, nutrition centres, and community centres. You may also take part in school and home visits. You’ll shadow trained local professionals, learning from them directly as they go about their day.

These international internships provide you with the opportunity to develop your own skills and expand your knowledge. It’s also a fantastic way to boost your CV, as well as future applications.

How are Projects Abroad’s Nutrition internships different?

At Projects Abroad, our first aim is to benefit the communities we work in. You can be assured that your internship is ethical, well supported, and part of a better future. Here’s just a few elements of our work that set it apart from other internship programmes:

Real work with trained professionals

On our internships, you’ll work alongside real healthcare professionals. You can observe them in their everyday work, ask questions and hear more about their experiences. You’re likely to get more insights into the frontline of medical care than in your home country.

A tailored approach

We are often able to tailor your internship to your interests. You can work in more than one department or focus on one particular area, or experience outreach work in the local community.

Our Medicine & Healthcare policy

We take the safety of our volunteers, interns, and the people they work with very seriously. That’s why we’ve put in place a comprehensive Medical Ethics Policy.
