What is the International Program for
4th year students? |
|
|
The purpose of
the Primary Care/Community Medicine international elective is two fold.
First, the elective will be an experience of primary care in an
international setting. Students will choose one location from among
the many sites that have already been pre-screened by the department
and a COM oversight committee. Second, the elective serves to encourage students
to learn about the health systems in the host country. This is an immersion
experience which will require the student to live in and learn from the
community, about the communities' health and the health concerns of its people. |

How do I apply to
an International Program? |

| |
|
|
Step 1 |

form (below) and send to the program staff at the address you
find under
Step 2.
 Application Form (173KB)
(opens in new window)
NOTE: This application form is for University of
Kentucky College of Medicine students only.
If you are a student from another program interested in coming
to the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, please go to
the
Visiting Student
section of the College of Medicine's website. |
| |
|
|
Step 2 |
Send the completed
application form from
Step 1 to the following address:
Mailing Address:
Attn: International Program Coordinator
University of Kentucky
Dept. of Family & Community Medicine
K302 KY Clinic Building
740 South Limestone
Lexington, KY 40536-0284
Fax: (859)323-6661 Email:

| |
|
|
Step 3 |
Program staff will review the
application you submitted and will
be in touch with you.
Special note for M4 students: Please submit the
application form (Step 1) at least six
months to a year in advance of when you plan to complete the
rotation. Doing so will permit staff time to contact
the host countries involved, to verify and confirm rotation
availability and as well to schedule any pre-trip preparatory
meetings (as needed). Program staff will be in
touch with all students who have expressed interest in the
international clerkship. In the event the interest level
exceeds either available sites or the sites ability to
accommodate, all students will be contacted by program staff.
A lottery may be one of the methods used to determine student
selection.
Participation flexibility is
appreciated: As
with any elective such as this, funding support is always of concern for
students and the College of Medicine. While this program
currently has funding to support students, the funds are limited.
The opportunity to
participate in international electives is subject to multiple
factors some of which are beyond the control of program staff
and include funding and site/political stability. |

|
|
Step 4 |
For
students that are given approval to participate, the following
required forms are needed. Be sure to sign where indicated
and mail, fax or email the forms to the address listed in
Step 2.

Attention: Non-UKCOM/visiting students:
As a general rule,
students from other programs who are interested in this fourth
year international clerkship are not accepted. This is
partly due to restrictions placed by the College of Medicine.
However, we do wish to encourage you to explore the web for the
many international opportunities that do exist for students
wanting to do international rotations. |
