Written by Mark Jones

The safety of our participants and staff is our top priority. IMA programs are completely safe, with a 100% safety record over 13 years of operation and thousands of successful internships.

We uphold the highest safety standards to ensure a secure and supportive environment for all participants.

Before departure, interns are assigned Program Mentors, receive detailed pre-departure information, and have virtual meetings with local staff to discuss health risks, vaccinations, travel documentation, and insurance.

Participants attend orientation sessions that cover:

  • Endemic diseases and recommended vaccinations

  • Local healthcare resources and emergency contacts

  • Cultural and environmental safety considerations
