Private Hospital Clinique Assalam
Clinique Assalam has 3 surgery theaters. About 400 children are born in the hospital annually. The hospital has a total of 30 beds for inpatients on three floors, all of them being single or double rooms. There is also a meal service for patients.
Elective and healthcare internship students are supervised by the hospital's doctors. The hospital is not affiliated with a university teaching hospital, but Moroccan students also regularly intern at the hospital.
French language skills are of advantage but not a requirement. Elective and internship students are in direct contact and interaction with hospital staff and patients. Most doctors speak English; all speak French and some speak Spanish. Most nursing staff speak French but not English, and some speak Spanish. The language skills of the patients correspond to Moroccan society (mother tongue Darija/Arabic, people with better education speak French, and in Tangier, many also speak Spanish; English skills are not widespread).
Interns are typically at the hospital from 9 am to 12 pm and from 2 pm to 6 pm, but can also start earlier. The hospital is open 365 days a year, and internships are possible all year round.
The following conditions of the hospital apply:
• Participants must be able to provide health insurance that is valid for internships abroad.
• Ward and working hours are decided by the hospital.
• It is forbidden to take photos inside the hospital and of patients. Devices capable of taking photos (including mobile phones, tablet PCs, etc.) must not be carried in the hospital but must be handed in at the reception.
• Students must bring and wear nursing pants, scrubs, and closed medical shoes. Special surgical clothing is provided. Clothing is washed at the hospital.

At Clinique du Detroit, clinical electives, nursing internships, and other healthcare internships can be carried out. The minimum duration is 4 weeks. To interact with staff and patients, basic knowledge of French is of advantage. For those who do not yet have any knowledge of French, we recommend learning medical basics in advance.
You observe and support the staff in their daily work. After an orientation phase, depending on prior knowledge, you can also perform minor treatments and activities under the supervision of attending physicians or nurses, such as administering medication, wound care, vital sign measurements, vaccinations, or other assistant activities. It is possible to gain insights into various departments and to rotate.
You should bring your own work clothes (scrubs in white, green, or blue and closed shoes in any color). It is also advisable to bring your own hand disinfectant and a stethoscope. If you intern in the surgery theater, please bring green or blue surgical clothing, face masks, and surgical caps.
There is a free shuttle bus for staff and patients that runs several times a day between the city center and the hospital. The Clinique du Detroit can also be reached cost-effectively by city bus without changing buses.
