PROJECT INTRODUCTION
Project Introduction
This project is a medical internship in a Cambodian hospital where medical facilities and patient services are inadequate. Cambodia faced a tragic period in the 1960s when many doctors and nurses were killed under the leadership of the Khmer Rouge. As a result, Cambodian citizens are often unable to receive proper medical treatment.
Through the medical internship project, you can share knowledge and experiences necessary for treatment with Cambodian medical staff and help improve the poor medical conditions in Cambodia. This project allows direct participation in medical tasks in the hospital. Additionally, participants can engage in medical activities suited to their abilities, making it a meaningful internship project for personal development.

English Proficiency ★★★☆☆ Participation in treatment and surgeries is available only to participants with over 3 years of experience working in a hospital.

#A small tip about transportation in Cambodia
Cambodia has a weak transportation infrastructure with underdeveloped public transport systems such as buses and subways. The main modes of transportation are motorcycle taxis where you ride on the back seat of a motorcycle, and tuk-tuks, which are three-wheeled vehicles modified from motorcycles. Motorcycle taxis are very dangerous for safety reasons. Therefore, we recommend using tuk-tuks, even though they may cost a bit more. Unlike regular taxis, tuk-tuks do not have fixed prices and the fare is determined through negotiation with the driver each time. The usual one-way fare starts from around 2 USD, and the cost varies greatly depending on the distance, time of day, and the number of passengers. Although the unfamiliar transportation system in Cambodia might initially be confusing, understanding Cambodia's relatively poor transportation system and adapting to the local culture will help you enjoy your time in Cambodia even more!

However, if you need to participate urgently, you can use the urgent application service by paying an additional fee, and we will assist with expedited processing.
* Although we will assist with expedited processing, please note that there is a basic amount of time required for communication with local agencies and confirmation procedures, and all processes will proceed similarly to regular applicants.
