Role of the Healthcare Intern
The internship is clearly divided up in 4 weeks of learning where you will:
Week 1 – be provided with the foundation needed to hit the ground running, by learning about the context, partaking in knowledge-sharing and be introduced to the local clinic, and receiving training in data-capture and analysis.
Week 2 – be taught how to run workshops effectively while gaining an understanding of the community and its challenges. You will be supported by the team on real practical service work and be given some time to reflect on your progress.
Week 3 – be growing your knowledge and confidence, as well as get exposure to various influential people in the field locally.
Week 4 – be given the opportunity to fly “solo” by doing research, ensuring the delivery of workshops, sit on a variety of talks within the community and work in the home-based care system.
