Medical internship in Romania

Gain some hands-on medical experience, working with children and adults receiving care in and around Brasov. This medical internship is ideal for those looking for some extra medical experience either before university, during their studies or before going into the workplace.

Mobile Medical Unit

The Mobile Medical Unit is a great way to really get involved in some hands on medical experience whilst seeing a different side to Romania. The mobile unit travels around Brasov to help people who are not able to get to hospital because of their health problems. Participants help with taking blood pressure, dressing wounds, administering medication as standard, and can do more depending on the level of experience.

Children's Hospital

The Children’s hospital provides care to children undergoing operations or who are unwell. We work with a variety of wards here, however many choose to specialise in the ward for children with mental, physical and behavioural issues. Many of these children come from troubled households, and tragically many of these are abandoned here. Help out with play therapy with these children, and work with them before and after their care.

Free time

Whilst taking part in these projects you will be living in the centre of Brasov along with other volunteers. Brasov is a lively medieval city, surrounded by towering mountain ranges. We include a trip to Dracula's Castle, but you can also go skiing, hiking, exploring local cities and culture, or just relaxing in the many bars, restaurants and cafes that Brasov has to offer.

Accommodation and food

Live in a self catered flat, sharing a room with one other volunteer. The accommodation is in a fantastic location just 5 minutes walk from the medieval city centre.
