In the context of an international internship, the “Physician Associate" experiences are designed to familiarize participants with the typical services and workplaces that a PA may be involved with, throughout the progression of their career. Additionally, the international placements are designed to help interns develop their intercultural competencies, while gaining an enhanced perspective of healthcare provision.

Physician Associate interns in Spain gain highly valuable, practical experience into what life is like as a medical professional. Interns shadow and assist practicing physicians, doctors and nurses in private hospitals and clinics, observing patient consultations and treatments, test evaluation and examinations, treatment establishment and follow ups. You can also assist with medical administrative tasks. Interns can learn a range of assessment and treatment techniques by observing them in practice.

It’s important to note that unqualified interns are unlikely to play a hands-on role, and your learning will come mostly from observing your supervisor. Your exact role will depend on your own skills, experience, Spanish language ability and the length of your internship. If you’d like to gain experience in a particular field of healthcare, please include details in your application. Requests will be accommodated wherever possible, but are subject to availability.
