Whether considering a career in healthcare or already studying a healthcare discipline, our hospital internships in Uganda offer the opportunity to gain valuable practical experience while immersing yourself in a different culture alongside like-minded young adults from around the world.

While the hospital placement remains the primary focus of the programme, a carefully selected range of spare-time activities is included as part of every placement, allowing participants to make the most of their time in Uganda.

Refined through years of experience, these activities provide the opportunity to experience Uganda's breathtaking natural beauty, remarkable wildlife, and warm hospitality beyond the hospital.

From national parks and the source of the Nile to vibrant local communities and unforgettable landscapes, participants gain a deeper appreciation of a country often referred to as The Pearl of Africa.

Whether joining for a pre-university observational internship or a clinical placement as part of your studies, you will be welcomed by a dedicated on-site team committed to providing a safe, structured, and rewarding experience.

From placement and activity coordinators to chefs, housekeeping staff, and drivers, every team member helps create the ideal conditions for you to focus fully on your learning, personal growth, and experiences.
From your first day, coordinators ensure a smooth introduction to both the hospital and your placement.

Throughout your stay, they regularly follow up on your experiences, helping turn clinical impressions into meaningful learning and reflection. Always close by, they are there to guide, support, and ensure you get the very most from your placement in Uganda.

You and your fellow participants will stay in the Try Medics house in Entebbe throughout your placement. Exclusively for programme participants, the house is just a short drive from our partner hospitals and provides a comfortable and welcoming base during your stay.

Rooms are self-contained and feature bunk beds with mosquito nets, while spacious indoor and outdoor common areas provide plenty of space to relax.

Enjoy the large garden, volleyball court, TV lounge, WiFi, and a spacious rooftop terrace overlooking Lake Victoria.

Whether playing board games, working out, or watching the sunset over the lake, the house offers the perfect setting to unwind, reflect on the day's experiences, and spend time with fellow participants outside placement hours.

Known as the Pearl of Africa, Uganda is a country shaped by a rich history, diverse cultures, breathtaking landscapes, remarkable wildlife, and welcoming people.
