Internship Programs
American Health Internship Programs
American Health has established internship programs for healthcare providers. Physicians, nurses, EMTs and paramedics, and hospital administrators from the Middle East are welcome to participate as interns in the United States, and interface directly with leading clinicians and administrators from American Health’s partner network of prestigious healthcare institutions in the U.S.
American Health’s Internship programs have three primary purposes:
- To provide exposure to a broad range of healthcare clinical and operation issues and one-on-one interaction with US-based leading clinicians and administrators.
- To involve the intern in the execution of a variety of clinical and administrative tasks in preparation for the future management of similar tasks.
- To enhance the individual’s leadership, decision-making and problem-solving skills.
The experience you gain during an American Health internship will indicate how you should structure your future studies, particularly when it comes to deciding on what aspects you should focus. An internship and your study focus will thus help you establish your individual healthcare career profile.
