Internships
We are currently accepting Intern Applications for
naturopathic global health internships for 2012
NDI naturopathic global health internships are offered year round and are a minimum of 2 months. You may apply to the NDI internship program if you are a medical student, undergraduate student that is interested in global studies, global health or grassroots social justice organizations, or medical professional. All internships are a combination of administrative and if you are qualified, clinical service. Students can only shadow doctors and will be given a certain amount of shifts to do so. If you are a student, and wish to intern for a minimum of 2 months, please apply here.
Interns will be involved in many aspects of NDI’s operations, such as administrative assistance, course support, research and development, writing and newsletter layout, community health project development, data entry and other initiatives. The time commitment is 40 hours weekly and is located in Nicaragua. Interns must pay a monthly donation determined by length of service and previous service with NDI (see fee schedule below). Additionally, interns are responsible for their own personal expenses, health insurance, and travel expenses to and from Nicaragua. For a full description of the internship, please read the NDI Internship Guide.
