International Medical Education

UK Medical & Public Health Internships

Practical international experience for medical students and young healthcare professionals, with opportunities to develop professional skills, improve medical English and experience life in the UK.

Our internship programme is designed for international medical students and young professionals who want meaningful exposure to healthcare, public health and professional life in the United Kingdom.

Public health internships can provide the opportunity to work with international communities and gain real-world experience. Depending on the placement, activities may include exposure to outpatient care, observation of healthcare services, assisting with appropriate projects, market research, health promotion or education relating to the prevention of illness and disease.

An internship can also provide the opportunity to live and work in a major UK city such as Manchester or Liverpool, both of which offer diverse cultural, social and professional environments.

For students and young professionals whose first language is not English, UK experience can be particularly valuable for developing confidence in medical and professional English communication. It can also provide international experience that may strengthen a CV and broaden understanding of British life and culture.

What the programme offers

We aim to provide practical support before, during and throughout the internship, with arrangements tailored to the participant's interests and objectives.

We can assist with identifying suitable accommodation and provide practical guidance on settling into the UK during your placement.

03

Professional development

Depending on the programme, support may include one-to-one coaching, professional document preparation, interview preparation and discussion of internship objectives and strengths.

04

Local coordination

A location coordinator can provide practical support during the placement and help participants become familiar with their local environment.

05

Placement support

We work to identify a suitable placement based on the participant's interests and objectives and can discuss alternatives where a placement does not meet expectations.

06

Life in the UK

An internship is more than professional experience. It can also provide an opportunity to experience British culture, develop independence and build international connections.

Potential UK locations

Our programme has historically focused on the North West of England, including two internationally recognised and culturally diverse cities.

Manchester

A major international city with a large healthcare, academic and professional community, offering a varied environment for international visitors and students.

Liverpool

A historic and internationally connected city with a strong healthcare, university and cultural presence and a long tradition of welcoming international students.

Important: Internship activities and access to healthcare environments depend on the specific placement, the participant's status and the requirements of the host organisation. Observational or educational placements do not automatically confer permission to practise medicine in the UK.
