Summer 2026 Participant
I learned that it is best to find one or two people the first day in a department that want to help you and are okay with explaining things in English. I found that all the people there are really busy so making a connection early is important to being in the know.

Summer 2026 Participant
Go into the program with an open mind. If you don't get the specialty of your choice, that's okay because each specialty is so unique and has so many amazing aspects to it.

Summer 2025 Participant
The most rewarding part of the program was getting exactly out of it what I wanted. I went into the program knowing that I wanted to have a better understanding of international healthcare and what I wanted my career to consist of, and I was able to do exactly that.
