The Mae Tao clinic trains about 100 new health workers every year. The training programmes can last from three months to two years. Some of the newly trained people remain to work at the clinic, the majority go to work in border areas. In-service training isprovided for those engaged in health work. Workshops are aslo organized in around themes such as Human Rights, Women’s Rights, Environment and other social issues.
Border Internship Program:
MTC offers internships to health workers from different ethnic group areas along the Thai–Burma border. Typically, interns complete their formal training 4 to 5 years prior to internship at various other locations, then come to the clinic for 6- to 12-months blocks. They come to obtain skills in a specific department or to rotate through our different departments. After receiving their training at MTC they can take their knowledge and skills into difficult-to-access areas for underserved populations. In 2004, 60 interns from different ethnic health organizations completed a 6-month internship at Mae Tao Clinic.
In addition to clinical and training services, MTC offers a variety of programs geared towards community support and patient rehabilitation. The clinic's increasing role as a community center, and the continual oppression of people living in Burma, results in a demand for services not directly related to health care.
