Nutrition 4 Kidney Care, LLC
Dialysis Internships
Our internships in Barbados are not just geared to give interns exposure and experience in the dialysis setting; they are also an important way patients receive comprehensive care.
Students who wish to intern in one of these institutions must complete our pre-requisite courses. Our internships run from two to four weeks in the months of February -November. The cost of the program (courses + internship) varies depending on several factors such as the internship length desired, the degree program of the student and whether or not the student is a resident.
You will receive a detailed cost once you fill out the application with your selected choices. We hope you will join us in Barbados.
