Overview
The international medical exchange program consists of providing Brown Warren Alpert Medical School (WAMS) students with the opportunity to partake in an international medical rotation at one of our international collaborator's sites. Each site is hosted by a foreign medical school and treated like a student of that school to have clinical experience outside the US. There is an application process and a Brown faculty liaison for the exchange, who completes the evaluations for the students. Once accepted into the program, students would be registered under the elective course number for that particular exchange site.
The international medical rotation is for Brown WAMS MS4 students and takes place from January to April for approximately 3 to 4 weeks.
The WAMS supports international exchange programs in 13 countries: Brazil, China, Dominican Republic, Germany, Ghana, Haiti (on hold), Israel (on hold), Italy, Japan, Kenya, Pakistan, South Korea (on hold), and Taiwan.
Please explore each country site profile to learn more details about each university, which includes information about travel funding, housing, and board.
Application
International exchange program applications will be submitted through a Google Form. Each student will select their top 3 site choices and submit a short essay response explaining their interest in the program.
*Students interested in the Dominican Republic exchange, there is a separate application form. Please contact david_arango@brown.edu for more information.
If you have specific questions about the application process please contact the international exchange program coordinator first.
