Barbados Internships
Our internships in Barbados are not just geared to give interns an exposure and experience in the dialysis setting; they are also an important way patients receive comprehensive care.
There are two healthcare institutions that provide dialysis in Barbados. The Queen Elizabeth Hospital dialyzes approximately 160 patients weekly and has about 50 patients on Peritoneal Dialysis. Sils Dialysis has 3 outpatient clinics that dialyze about 100-120 patients weekly. Neither of these institutions employ dietitians or social workers.
Student who wish to intern in one of these institutions must complete our CKD course and dietetic interns must also complete our Nutrition Management course.
Our internships run from two to four weeks in the months of February -November. The cost of the program (course + internship varies depending on the internship length desired, the degree program of the student and whether or not the student local or abroad.
