We value international study as a way to enrich the professional development of medical students and health care professionals. FIU Medicine has established global partnerships with academic, clinical, and research institutions to support these opportunities.
To maintain high educational standards and ensure student and patient safety, all enrolled medical students planning international experiences—clinical, academic, research-based, or service-related—must notify the Office of Student Affairs and complete the required approval process.
