  • Sunday: Arrival in Delhi

  • Monday: Orientation + neighborhood familiarization tour. The orientation session will be conducted by the local coordinator, covering topic areas; such as safety, culture, language, places to visit, behavior, food, and other suggestion over things to do in Delhi. Those who chose the Language and Orientation Week will carry on with the same for the entire, rest of the interns will begin their work from Tuesday.

  • Tue to Fri: Internship work

    • Breakfast - 9am onwards or can be taken at the hospital if going for an early shift

    • Working hours at the placement - 10:00 am to 04:00 pm

    • Lunch - anywhere between 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm (interns have to manage lunch on their own expense)

    • Dinner - 07:00 pm onwards

Depending upon the working schedule of the paired doctor and area of the hospital an intern is placed, the times and days of work may fluctuate. Your patience and flexibility with these schedule and time shifts are greatly appreciated.The same work schedule continues from the second week onwards .

Volunteer tasks under the Medical Internship Program in India, Delhi

The hospitals cannot ethically allow individuals without the proper experience, education, and certifications to actively participate in medical procedures they are not able to conduct. Most interns only observe or help out with very minor tasks. The tasks assigned to the interns will be strictly on the basis of the level of their education and experience.

This assignment during your medical internship in Delhi is primarily observation based. You’ll follow your doctor or nurse on daily rounds while they consult with patients, administer treatment, and perform operations. 

However, even those interns who have little (if any) background in healthcare still enjoy a much higher level of access to the goings-on in an international hospital than they would back in the West. With this in mind, the medical internship in Delhi, India offers an outstanding opportunity for students interested in exploring a career in healthcare. The time they spend on assignment will look incredible on their resume or CV.
