Internships and Volunteering

Medical outreaches also serve as a learning and service platform for students and volunteers: Entepesi Kenya has signed Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) with local and international institutions to host student internships and clinical attachments, allowing learners to gain field experience in rural healthcare. Volunteers, both skilled and unskilled, find the outreaches to be a rewarding way to contribute meaningfully to communities during their free time. These opportunities promote knowledge exchange, cultural learning, and the development of a new generation of empathetic, community-oriented health professionals
