Join a 6-week hospital internship in Moshi, exclusively for students enrolled in healthcare programs in nursing, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, medicine, radiography, pharmacy, biomedical science, dental hygiene, and dentistry.

Gain valuable clinical experience at one of Tanzania's most specialised university hospitals and explore the country's unique culture and nature in your free time.

The hospital placement is the core of your stay in Moshi, where you follow experienced healthcare professionals and gain clinical experience tailored to your level of study. In your free time we explore Tanzania's authentic culture and extraordinary nature.

Explore the spare-time activities below, all carefully selected and included as part of every placement.

In Moshi, Tanzania, Try Medics has a permanent presence, and our Danish coordinator Frederikke participates throughout the entire program to ensure safety, quality, and a well-functioning placement.

With her background as a nurse and experience in Tanzania, Frederikke is uniquely positioned to ensure your stay in Moshi is a rewarding and educational experience. Together with the rest of our team in Moshi, she helps you settle into the placement, is a support you can always turn to, and follows up on your experiences every day.

Frederikke and the rest of the Moshi team have as their primary task to ensure a safe and supportive framework around your wellbeing, your clinical learning, the community with your group, and the cultural activities offered as a break in your free time. They look forward to welcoming you on a journey to Moshi, Tanzania, filled with academic development, smiles, and cultural experiences.

Throughout the program, you live in the Try Medics house in the heart of Moshi. A large and welcoming home exclusively for program participants, it quickly becomes a natural gathering place where new friendships and a strong sense of community develop.

The house is centrally located within short distance of cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, ATMs, and the city centre.

Accommodation is in bright 2 to 4-person rooms with comfortable beds, mosquito nets, and WiFi. The house also offers several shared spaces, including a cosy living room, dining room, and outdoor areas with a terrace, sofa lounge, sun loungers, and a fire pit.

Dedicated housekeeping staff ensure the house is always clean and welcoming. Our cooks prepare three meals a day, Monday to Friday, with most dietary requirements and allergies accommodated with advance notice.

Daily transport between the house and the hospital makes each day simple and safe. The house is a central part of the experience, providing a place to share clinical and personal reflections with fellow participants, while also offering a quiet space to unwind and recharge.

Every Wednesday, you will take part in the KCMC Outreach Project, an interdisciplinary initiative bringing together doctors, nurses, midwives, dentists, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists to provide free healthcare in villages across the Kilimanjaro region.

The outreach project offers a unique insight into community-based healthcare in Tanzania, where you experience how healthcare is delivered in resource-limited settings and gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities of providing care beyond the hospital. It also offers valuable exposure to interdisciplinary collaboration and cross-cultural healthcare in practice.

Moshi is a charming city at the foot of Africa's highest mountain, Kilimanjaro, and serves as the gateway to some of Tanzania's greatest natural experiences. The city is shaped by the local Chagga culture but has an international character as travellers from around the world pass through on their way to climb Kilimanjaro or go on safari.

Moshi's vibrant markets, small cafes, and green surroundings reflect a rich cultural heritage and a deep connection to the natural world. From the coffee plantations surrounding the city to the view of Kilimanjaro's snow-capped summit, the area is known for its beauty and hospitality. Moshi combines authentic Tanzanian everyday life with adventurous experiences and is a perfect destination for the curious and open-minded traveller.
