Between the world-class medical institutions, the highly promoted culture of exercise and outdoor activity, and of course, the consistently pleasant weather, Australia is a great option for kinesiology and exercise science internships abroad. A large population that is enthusiastic about recreation and sports means plenty of opportunities to work in subsets of the field, such as physical therapy and rehabilitation, athletic training, or sports medicine.
Furthermore, with its global level of connectedness in numerous science fields, Australia can make for one of the best destinations in the world to make professional contacts via an internship. Australia also provides no barriers in the form of language, unless your native tongue is not English, and no glaring cultural differences with most English speaking nations, allowing interns to quickly adapt to their new environment and get to work on the practice side of their kinesiology internship experience.
With a striking difference between the medical needs and resources of its rich and poor citizens, South Africa is another top choice for kinesiology internships abroad, providing a huge range of focus areas for interns to choose from with in the country. The major cities of Cape Town and Johannesburg are home to the finest universities invested in health research specifically; therefore, their laboratories and clinics can be great locations for students interested in related exercise science fields, like physical therapy or cardiac rehabilitation.
In the less affluent areas of South Africa, internship opportunities are available that allow interns to work in exercise and health promotion research, especially within the segment of the population composed of underprivileged children. Many children, and adults for that matter, can attribute their negative health situations to the HIV/AIDS epidemic that has ravaged South Africa for decades.
The study and application of kinesiology and exercise science is not just reserved for affluent countries. Areas of Vietnam are also in great need of experts in these areas. For a more philanthropic approach to the sciences, student interns in Vietnam can spend their days working with the underprivileged citizens in both major cities and in more rural placements, with each location providing unique challenges and different patient needs. Students interested in future careers in nutrition, pharmacy, or physical therapy would all be suited to an internship in Vietnam.
