Experience Bangladesh

The IUBAT Nursing program runs
year-round. We rely on international volunteers to assist with teaching and clinical supervision in all areas of nursing practice. Lesson plans for most courses are already prepared and all teaching is in English. We can provide a safe and interesting experience in classroom, hospital and community settings.

It helps if guest faculty can stay for an entire semester, or at least six weeks as that is best for everybody. We cannot provide airfare or salary, but we do offer airport pick-up, our own guest house near the campus, meals and local transport during your stay. We can also issue tax-deductible receipts for all expenses associated with your visit.

Previous experience in teaching nursing is not essential. Social workers, dietitians, rehab professionals, pharmacists and physicians also teach in our program. The most important qualities for visiting faculty are openness to other cultures, enthusiasm about developing novice nurses, and flexibility.

When in Dhaka, most volunteers enjoy their interactions with the other faculty, students and neighbours. It is a friendly and appreciative atmosphere where we are completely immersed in the local society.

Support the Project from Your Home

We also need assistance from volunteers working from home in areas such as curriculum development, communications and fund-raising. Please contact us if you would like to help.
