The Krupp Internship Program arranges 3-6 month, fully paid internships with leadingcompanies and institutions from all overGermany for students of any major/minorwho have participated for at least one quar-ter in the Stanford-in-Berlin Program andhave completed the equivalent of 1 year ofcollege-level German. Pre-medical studentshave access to incredible hands-on expe-riences through the Krupp Internship Pro-gram. Past placements have includedinternships in biology, chemistry, and psy-

chology. The program has placed students inhospitals (with departmental rotation and/orwith emergency room access), commercialand government research institutions (some-times in connection with hospitals and clini-cal facilities), associations of classical and al-ternative medicine, and veterinary medicine.During these internships, students shadowdoctors, do lab research, examine and con-sult with patients, and learn about public andprivate health care systems in Germany.

Internships provide first-hand premedicalexperience and may help students decidewhether medical school is the right choicefor them. A medical internship abroad en-hances an academic record while providing adeeply enriching, personal experience at akey point in a student’s academic career. Stu-

dents shouldn’t be intimidated by the pro-spect of working in a foreign language andculture—as students frequently report, that isactually the most exciting part! Countlesscases prove that, with foresight, it is easilymanageable to study abroad, complete aninternship, and still graduate on time.

I got to work every day at 7 am where I spent the firsthour drawing blood, administering IVs, giving shots,and laying intravenous needles. Around 8 am I wouldaccompany an assistant ward doctor and another Ger-man medical student on ward rounds. This would takebetween 2 and 3 hours. I would listen to the doctor chatwith the patients, answer questions, and explain testresults. During these rounds I learned how to listen tothe heartbeat and lung through a stethoscope. Then wewould all eat breakfast together around 11 am. Afterbreakfast I would join other medical students in talkingwith new patients where we would take patient medi-cal history and perform basic physical examinations.Throughout the day I would draw blood and give pa-tients medication. The workday would end between2:30 and 3 pm. Every Wednesday I attended an hourlong class session with the other medical studentswhere we learned how to read EKGs or how to identifycertain diseases. My tasks were very worthwhile. I willuse them in the future, because I would like to becomea doctor. I got to do things that students in Americacannot do until much later on in their medical training.It was very exciting.
