Healthcare Volunteering in India

The Medical Volunteer Program places doctors, nurses, and medical school students in hospitals and health clinics in Bangalore, India.

Interns work in either a urban or rural setting, providing primary care to locals in your specialty. There are also mobile clinics that you can be a part of.

We have standing requests from local facilities for Internists, Urologists, Surgeons, Oncologists, Opthamologists, Nurses, Dentists, and EMT's. You will play a critical role in the villages and towns where you'll serve.

Particularly in rural areas, where much of the local people live, there is a desperate, chronic shortage of medical personnel and supplies.

Medical school students' activities will include things like following doctors on their rounds, exploring different treatments for simple ailments, assisting with physical therapy, and participating in vaccination programs.

Volunteers must be studying or practicing in the healthcare field, as doctors, nurses, EMT's, and medical and nursing students with clinical experience. We do not accept premed students into the program.
