International Medical Aid (IMA) offers unique opportunities for Pre-Physician Assistant students, students in graduate Physician Assistant programs, and licensed Physician Assistants (PAs) to gain clinical experience in a global healthcare setting with the mentorships of our dedicated staff. We collaborate with a large network of public and private healthcare facilities so our interns are able to utilize their skills to improve the health of the communities they work with while furthering their practical experience.
IMA is a not-for-profit organization that reinvests in all of the communities where we operate. While some programs merely transport participants to their hospital placements and offer little guidance, we provide a structured environment with multiple sources of local and U.S.-based support.
IMA’s investments in local communities help develop more community medical clinics and bring necessary medical supplies to the area. We don’t leave interns once they arrive in their host country and we make their safety our top priority. Every aspect of their travel abroad experience is closely monitored and includes extensive training on safety and infection control procedures.
