    About the program:

You can do a 2 weeks small experience session to couple months internship with our foundation in Nepal capital while staying with a fully local family in heart of Kathmandu  which again gives you a chance to see different country  through eye of locals.

    As a physiotherapy intern, you’ll shadow registered physiotherapists and may take part in physio sessions for adults and children, depending on prior experience and skills. The majority of work will be observation based (unless already qualified), which allows a great opportunity to gain valuable first hand knowledge, giving your resume that extra advantage!

    There will not be any hands-on work unless you are experienced. If not, then most of your learning will mainly be through observation. Many options are available for volunteers depending on your skill level. You’ll spend the first couple days observing and being assessed for your experience level which will be discussed and agreed to with the professionals at the clinic, in order to assess your daily tasks.
