International Medical Aid (IMA) allows individuals who are motivated to practice physical therapy or chiropractic to explore the profession in an international setting. This lifetime mentorship by dedicated Physical Therapy or Chiropractic staff creates hands-on programs that accommodate the knowledge and backgrounds of each participant. They have the opportunity to work in a variety of environments extending from public hospitals to private practices based on interests and skill sets. Through the use of public health educational programs, We endeavor to improve the health of individuals in need of care. We take a holistic approach to care, working with local leaders to develop ethical and sustainable community-led initiatives that address the root causes of disease and illness.
Unlike many health care volunteer programs, IMA is a nonprofit organization that reinvests at least five percent of profits back into the communities we operate. While some programs merely transport participants to their hospital placements and offer little guidance, we provide a structured environment with local support. IMA oversees every aspect of your overseas experience, including extensive training.
