jubileeventures.org
offers overseas
internships and volunteer abroad placement opportunities for those
interested in medical and dental work. The Jubilee Ventures medical and
dental volunteering placements are open to students and
professionals
from all fields of health care practice including laboratory
technicians, physiotherapists, radiologists etc.
Medical
& Dental Voluntary Service Abroad
Our Africa
health volunteer placements are open
to medical professionals including doctors, dentists, nurses, medical
laboratory technologists, etc. They are also open to students in all
medical
fields. A professional license, relevant student ID or college letter
showing
your program and level of study is required at the start of your
medical
volunteer placement abroad.
All
prospective international medical volunteers
also need to submit a resume showing their area and level of expertise
and what
they hope to achieve from the medical volunteer placement in Africa. Prep-program students (such as pre-meds)
should apply for the medical internships, not the medical volunteer
program.
There
are a number of medical and dental clinics in Tanzania
where voluntary healthcare workers
can be placed.
We also have wonderful international volunteer placement opportunities
for dentists and dental technicians and hygienists in a number of
Tanzanian hospital dental units. You
can also volunteer or do your internship as a dental or
medical assistant at one of the local
hospitals.
Tanzanian
medical clinics, health centers and hospitals vary in size
and number of patients from as many as 5 per day to as many as
200 or more. Generally
overseas interns and volunteers abroad in medical and dental work
will assist and support
local doctor/dentists, nurses and clinicians in the
normal
routine
of medical work including taking vital signs, dressing wounds,
taking
patients history, counseling patients, providing
assurance and moral support to patients' family, disbursing minor drugs
etc.
Many
of the Tanzanian healthcare facilities lack modern facilities
and
the few that are available are often broken down from overuse. Any
donations of facilities are welcome. Such donations can be channeled to
the hospitals directly.
Both Medical and
Dental Interns will work under the supervision of the Local Licensed
Health Care Providers. The level of the participation will depend on
the individual’s training and demonstrated skills.
All
Interns/Volunteers are advised to bring health equipments such as
gloves, lab coats and closed shoes to use at the placement.
