International Medical Aid (IMA) welcomes applicants actively pursuing healthcare careers. This includes pre-health students and current students in medical, nursing, dental, physician assistant, and other allied health programs. Our programs are designed for individuals serious about building their clinical experience in global healthcare environments.

While we do not require prior international experience, our most successful interns typically meet the following criteria:
They are enrolled in or have completed relevant coursework in a health-related field
They have participated in physician shadowing, clinical volunteering, or similar healthcare exposure at home
They can clearly articulate their motivation for pursuing a healthcare career
Applicants should be mature, adaptable, and open to working in settings that differ significantly from U.S. or Western hospitals. We seek future healthcare professionals eager to learn and contribute meaningfully to underserved communities.
