Anemia and chronic malnutrition affect many children in Tanzania. Pregnant and breastfeeding women are also at risk of suffering from preventable nutritional deficiencies. Many people don’t have access to specialized nutrition advice, so interns play an important role in helping to provide support to those in need. These Nutrition internships in Arusha, Tanzania are highly valuable learning opportunities for interns to understand the unique needs of individuals in a culturally and economically diverse environment.

To create a more immersive program, which can diversify your experience, Nutrition internships will include hospital, clinical and community based placements. From a clinical perspective, interns gain a practical understanding of how nutritionists evaluate, diagnose and treat those with nutrition concerns. This is done by shadowing local professionals in an observational capacity. Interns may be given the opportunity to actively participate in the work performed by their team, once their skills and experience have been effectively demonstrated.

Community based placement will be with a local community group, providing assistance to families and their children in all areas of nutrition. Interns are involved in putting together food packages, running nutritional workshops and home visits for those in need of nutrition education, advice and support. Interns will need to be prepared to travel across the city with their supervisor to reach patients and families in their homes. Average travel times can range from 45-60 minutes, so interns must be physically fit and able.
