International Experiences

Approval Process for Proposed International Experiences

All UMMS medical students considering international travel as a part of an approved experience must request approval from the International Medical Education Program (IMEP).

A key step in the process is submitting required information to IMEP at least 3 months in advance of proposed travel to a Partner Site, and at least 4 months in advance of proposed travel to any other site. Additional information about international experiences for UMMS medical students can be found in the document titled, Guidelines for International Experiences, which can be found within the web page for Key Information & Documents.

UMMS medical students, faculty and staff can contact IMEP (via email at IMEP-GHP@umassmed.edu with any questions.
