Overview
The international medical exchange program consists of providing PLME 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. Once accepted into the program, students would be required to attend a pre-travel orientation.
The Brown PLME international medical exchange programs take place for approximately 2 to 4 weeks.
We currently have PLME international medical exchange programs in 3 countries: China, Germany, and Taiwan.
Please explore each country's site profile to learn more details about each university, which includes information about travel funding, housing, and board.
Students seeking the international health travel scholarship will indicate this in their application. Priority is for need-based students.
Application
International exchange program applications will be submitted through a Google Form (TBA). Each student will select their top choice and submit a short essay response explaining their interest in the program.
If you have specific questions about the application process and would like more information, please contact david_arango@brown.edu.
