Within the Psychology project you will be placed in the psychology department of a clinic. You get the opportunity to shadow a psychologist and observe activities and working methods to get an idea of the Peruvian healthcare system.

In this project you will primarily shadow, observe, and assist the psychologist. You will support the psychologist in administrative work and make recommendations about the patients.

Optionally, you will work on educational campaigns. Unfortunately, domestic violence is still a serious problem in Peru. With these campaigns, you will visit families and go into the street to talk with people about these topics.

Please note that the amount of work and the level of responsibility you get is very dependent on your Spanish level.

Especially in a medical environment, it is essential to first gain some trust with the psychologists, so being able to communicate properly in Spanish will help you gain their trust and confidence. Being proactive, and taking initiative is also highly appreciated.
