Medical and Health Care Internships

In terms of health care challenges, Shanghai is dealing with the impact of air pollution, a rapidly aging population and an ever-increasing level of obesity in children. As a medical and health care intern, you will find both research-based and clinical health care internship opportunities are available. Medical research projects may include assessing the impact of the H1N1 Pandemic and researching rare diseases. Shanghai medical internship opportunities also exist to attend ward rounds, observe surgeries and help with immunizations in local communities. Medical and health care interns in Shanghai will have the opportunity to be intimately involved in this rapidly changing medical environment.

Within our network of hospitals, public health research institutes and clinics in Shanghai, opportunities in fields such as physical therapy, nursing, occupational therapy and speech pathology can also be found. Naturally, Shanghai also provides an opportunity to learn more about the many traditional Chinese medical practices in existence in addition to standard Western medicine practices. Medical internships in Shanghai also come with the benefit of being able to enjoy a thriving urban environment of one of the world’s largest cities.
