This paper explains a project aimed at creating a training course for foreign students in the field of Health Sciences. Thanks to the support of the Order of Servants of Mary, operating in the Argentine dioceses, it was possible to be in contact with the Faculty of Medicine of the Universidad Nacional del Nordeste (Argentina), where many descendants of emigrants from two regions of north-estern Italy, Friuli Venezia-Giulia and Veneto. A practical internship is also envisaged as part of the university training course, in which students can concretely work on hospital wards to experience important aspects of their future profession. This internship is primarily designed for undergraduate students in their final year, with the aim to consolidate their professional identity as soon as possible. By virtue of an agreement stipulated with the Giuliano Isontina University Health Authority (ASUGI), Argentine students were thus allowed to carry out their internship in Trieste.
