Who We Are


About Us

At Young Surgeons Travel, we eliminate the hassle of finding a meaningful medical internship abroad. We specialize in organizing international internships for medical students, recent graduates, and early-career professionals looking to gain hands-on global experience. From matching you with a suitable placement to arranging your airport pickup, accommodation, and meals — we handle every detail so you can focus on your future in medicine.

We offer transformative, life-changing healthcare internships for Pre-med, Doctors, Medical Residents, Medical students, and Pre-med undergraduates to work in busy overseas hospitals, mentored by our outstanding staff of dedicated physicians and other healthcare professionals.

What Makes us Stand Out

At Young Surgeons Travel, we provide immersive, hands-on opportunities that not only help aspiring medical students stand out on their applications—but also shape their personal and professional growth for years to come.

The experiences we offer go beyond checklists and resume-builders. They’re the kind that leave lasting impact—equipping you with the confidence, insight, and global awareness that top medical schools value. Whether you're shadowing surgeons in international clinics, supporting rural outreach teams, or assisting in public health projects, you'll be gaining much more than hours—you’ll be building your story, your skill set, and your future medical network.

We understand how competitive the path to medical school has become. Today’s future physicians need more than strong academics—they need to demonstrate passion, commitment, and a clear sense of purpose. Clinical exposure is essential—but so is perspective. While traditional routes like EMT programs or tech roles in modern hospitals offer valuable training, they often limit you to structured, high-tech, Western systems.

With Young Surgeons Travel, you’ll gain a unique lens on global medicine—working in diverse healthcare settings where resourcefulness, cultural competence, and compassion are at the heart of patient care. This is more than preparation; it’s transformation.


Who We Are

We are constantly developing partnerships regionally in the US and across the world to ensure we deliver programs that take students to the fronteers of knowledge, produces graduates who can compete in the global market.
