Through [Virtual Internships](https://www.virtualinternships.com/), Nathan found his summer placements with [Ascroft Medical](https://www.ascroftmedical.co.uk/) in the UK. His journey is a testament to the power of [work-based learning experiences](https://blog.virtualinternships.com/year-round-work-based-learning) in equipping emerging professionals with career readiness competencies for the future of work.   ## Journey into Global Healthcare: US Student Interned Remotely with UK Medical Clinic Nathan’s internship at Ascroft Medical was not a typical summer internship; it was a gateway to gaining practical experience in the healthcare industry through a remote internship. He took on the challenge of developing Continuous Professional Development (CPD) courses that would contribute to the accreditation of healthcare professionals. These modules serve as resources for professionals striving to enhance their skills and advance their lifelong learning journey.   ## Unlocking Power Skills and Global Connections Through the online internship experience, he not only broadened his horizons but also honed a range of [power skills](https://blog.virtualinternships.com/why-employers-prioritize-power-skills) such as time management and networking. Engaging in this project-based learning allowed him to master the art of setting priorities and meeting deadlines while juggling personal and professional responsibilities. Moreover, this remote [experiential learning](https://blog.virtualinternships.com/what-is-experiential-learning) opportunity offers him a distinct chance to break out of his usual social circle. Collaborating with individuals from different time zones and cultural backgrounds sharpened his interpersonal and networking abilities. It enabled him to establish connections with colleagues and effectively communicate with superiors in professional settings. These competencies will undoubtedly distinguish him in future multicultural and diverse work environments.   ## The Role of Mentorship in Early-Career Talent Nathan's success story isn't just about the skills he acquired but also the guidance and mentorship he received during his experiential learning program. During his time with Virtual Internships, Nathan benefited from regular check-in sessions with a coaching expert. These sessions provided guidance to navigate the typical uncertainties that early-career talent often encounter. With personalized support and advice, he successfully confronted challenges and gained a clearer perspective on his future career path. > Nathan recalls, "The coaching calls showed me how to set short- and long-term goals while working to ensure continuous skill development and career advancement; alongside being offered a position at Ascroft at the end of my internship!"   ## A Leap Into The World of Career Possibilities Nathan's internship was not just an educational experience; it was a stepping stone to his future. The remote [healthcare internship](https://www.virtualinternships.com/interns/career-fields/healthcare-pharmaceutical-internships/) allowed him to build [future-proof skillsets](https://blog.virtualinternships.com/future-proof-skills-equip-students), expand his professional network, and ultimately secure a long-term position with Ascroft Medical.
