Our medical program

Health programs

Medical program: Volunteers with a medical background and medical students are welcome to assist local health professionals in hospitals and clinics. They will be assigned with tasks matching their field of expertise and may also be invited to participate in educational programs in addition to time spent with patients in the clinics.

Physical therapy program: Volunteers with a background in Physiotherapy and Occupational therapy can help organizations run by the government and aimed to improve the life conditions of physical or mentally disabled children and their families through physiotherapeutic sessions and entertainment and educational activities such as sports, roleplay and dance.

These internship programs offer volunteers an ideal opportunity for health professionals and students to get to know Costa Rica and its people while offering their host country a very valuable service in return.

They require a stay of at least four weeks and an intermediate to advanced level of Spanish language skills.
