Description
Since 1996, The American Austrian Foundation and the Max Kade Foundation have been awarding 4th-year American and Austrian medical students from our partner medical schools one month clinical clerkships in Austria or the United States. The program aims to supplement the students´ education and broaden their experience by exposing them to a foreign culture and health care system.
Eligibility
For American students:
- Rotating in Austria can be quite different from US rotations, as they are largely unstructured and requires fellows to take the initiative to communicate with doctors and residents.
- Knowledge of German is a great need.
For Austrian students:
- Students must fulfill each institution´s specific requirements.
- Knowledge of fluent English is required.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test. More information
Benefits
For American students:
- Covers travel expenses
- Pocket money
- Accommodation during the one-month stay
For Austrian students:
- Covers travel expenses only
Application information
For American Students:
- Candidates should complete the application form and submit by email.
For Austrian Students:
- Each U.S. medical school has slightly different requirements, however candidates must have completed the following electives prior to starting the clinical clerkship: Internal Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics/Gynecology, Pediatrics and Psychiatry.
