Over het programma

We partner with clinics, small hospitals, labs, and treatment centers to provide opportunities for people to develop professionally and to help at the same time. By joining our program you will be placed in a clinic where you can learn skills by shadowing medical professionals and interacting with patients. Depending on your area of expertise and interest, we will match you with the best suited option.

For interns that have experience in lab work, there is the opportunity to aid in laboratory diagnostics.

The medical program is meant for medical students 3rd year and above and professionals. It’s important that interns are able to communicate in Spanish. If your Spanish skills are not well developed we encourage you to take some medical Spanish classes with us prior to your internship.

The minimum commitment to the internship is of 4 weeks.

Each of our destinations offers different options for medical internships

Integrated Learning Experiences’ (INLEX) mission is to strengthen human resources in Central America and South America through volunteer programs, educational travel and internship opportunities.

In addition to this, INLEX provides opportunities for students and professionals to further gain experience in their field of choice by matching participants with the best opening available.

We work towards:

  • Sustainability in the projects and communities that we work in.
  • Programs that promote cultural exchange.
  • Safe and affordable programs.
  • Strengthening and empowering communities.
  • Authentic experiences for our participants.
  • Facilitating education.

INLEX was set founded by former Peace Corps staff in Guatemala in 2005 who wanted to provide flexible programs for volunteers in Central America. This flexibility allows our participants the option to commit for as long as they want in the area they are best suited to support; creating a positive impact and a rewarding experience. We do this because we believe in the principle that every volunteer can make a difference.

Many years and happy people later, we continue working with key partner projects to develop communities in the Latin American region.
