Physiotherapy Internship in Sri Lanka

Physiotherapy
18 years+

The Physiotherapy Internship in Sri Lanka is designed for students and recent graduates of physiotherapy programs who are seeking practical clinical exposure in an international healthcare setting. Interns are placed at the National Hospital Galle, one of the largest public hospitals in Sri Lanka, where they observe and support physiotherapy and rehabilitation services across multiple units.

Sri Lanka is unique in South Asia for offering free public healthcare to all citizens, resulting in a high patient volume and broad case exposure. Interns work under the supervision of senior physiotherapists, alongside consultant doctors, medical officers, and allied healthcare professionals. While the experience is largely observation-based, interns may gain limited hands-on exposure depending on their academic background, confidence, and the working culture of the assigned unit.

In addition to hospital-based learning, interns have opportunities to engage in community-based activities, disability care, elderly care, and introductory sessions in Ayurvedic medicine, providing a holistic understanding of healthcare delivery in Sri Lanka. This program is ideal for interns who are open-minded, adaptable, and eager to learn within a culturally diverse medical environment.

Pre Medical Observership Program Sri Lanka

Pre Medical
18 years+

The Pre-Medical Observership Program caters to participants who are not currently enrolled in a medical or nursing degree from a recognized university, but have some prior knowledge and/or experience in the healthcare sector.Participants who have no demonstrable experience or knowledge whatsoever in the healthcare sector cannot be enrolled in the program.

Sri Lanka is the only country in South Asia which offers free healthcare to all its citizens, which is remarkable for this region. As such, the public sector here is very well developed and much larger than the private sector. Participants working in the public sector have access to a larger and wider network of medical professionals, range and volume of patients and exposures to a comprehensive set of wards and special units that cannot come close to being matched in the private sector. There is also a greater need for future doctors and nurses to assist in the public sector as the sheer volume of patients they get is overwhelming and from lower socio-economic classes, where the need for support is greater. 

Participants can expect to gain a broad-based understanding of how these sectors work through a range of observation-based learning experiences across various wards and units in a hospital and/or clinic setting, as well as through a range of community based activities. They also get to understand how the medical system of a developing country like Sri Lanka works and learn about various tropical diseases that are prevalent in this part of the world. Additionally, participants get to interact with local doctors and nurses to enhance their knowledge and skills.

Medical Students as well as recently qualified medical students looking to gain valuable experience and skills must select the Medical Internship Program in Sri Lanka. Nursing students looking to do a nursing elective must choose our Nursing Internship Program in Sri Lanka.
