Intern Roles & Responsibilities

The hospital placements cannot ethically allow individuals without the proper experience, education, and certifications to actively participate in medical procedures they are not able to conduct. Most interns only observe or help out with very minor tasks. The tasks assigned to the interns will be strictly on the basis of the level of their education and experience.

This assignment during your medical internship in Delhi is primarily observation based. You’ll follow your doctor or nurse on daily rounds while they consult with patients, administer treatment, and perform operations. 

However, even those interns who have little (if any) background in healthcare still enjoy a much higher level of access to the goings-on in an international hospital than they would back in the West. With this in mind, the medical internship in Delhi, India offers an outstanding opportunity for students interested in exploring a career in healthcare. The time they spend on assignment will look incredible on their resume or CV.
