Physiotherapy internship in Tanzania

For your physiotherapy internships, in all medical facilities, you will be assigned to a hospital professional who will guide you and determine which examinations and treatments you can perform on patients under their supervision. This includes tasks such as:

• Advising patients on exercises to perform for their rehabilitation.
• Assisting with improving patients’ mobility.
• Supporting respiratory rehabilitation.
• Assisting in muscle rehabilitation.
• Helping patients move to enhance their mobility.

Interns and volunteers with professional qualifications and experience cannot practice independently, as this requires approval from the Tanzanian health authority. Obtaining this approval is a lengthy process and only applies to stays of at least one year. Even if you have professional qualifications, you will remain under the supervision of a licensed professional in Tanzania, who will take responsibility for you and decide what you can perform independently.

Internship Objective Complete your physiotherapy and kinesiology internship, joining a multicultural team on site. You will develop your skills while discovering the Tanzanian healthcare system.

You will be able to choose in which hospital you want to do your internship.
