If it's medicine you're studying, you should intern in a hospital or a clinic. This will widen your knowledge of what happens outside the four walls of your institution. I will also recommend you apply for an international internship. Working away from your country helps you create more connection and network. This wll help you a lot in future while you're looking for a job.
Your internship experience will also be added to you CV while you're looking for a job in future, this puts you a step above other graduates whose only experience is their degree program.
