Medical Elective Internship Program
Meet John Burns: A Passionate Pre-Med Student Joins Volunteer Society Nepal!
We’re excited to welcome John Burns, a dedicated pre-med student from the USA, to our 3-week Medical Elective Internship Program! John, is a senior premedical student studying in New York who have worked in ambulances, medical labs, and as a patient advocate. He has undoubtedly gained a lot from these experiences. As he is now looking to experience medicine in a new context and environment and chose Nepal. In addition, he is quite interested in Hinduism and Buddhism and loves to be able to visit the temples and monasteries during his stay in Nepal.
Driven by a desire to broaden his medical horizons, John chose Nepal for this internship. He’s eager to experience healthcare in a new environment and gain valuable insights into a different medical system.
John’s internship journey began with shadowing our local doctors. These initial days allowed him to observe medical procedures and gain a deeper understanding of Nepal’s healthcare landscape. Now, feeling more familiar with the environment, John is ready to take the next step! He’ll be assisting the local doctor under their guidance, putting his knowledge and skills into practice.
John’s enthusiasm for medicine and his commitment to learning are truly inspiring. We’re confident that this internship will be a rewarding experience for both John and the team at Volunteer Society Nepal.
