International Medicine
Welcome to the E. Grey Dimond, M.D., Program in International Medicine at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine. An international medicine elective provides you the opportunity to expand your understanding of health care and to add an international dimension to your medical experience. Further, learning about patient cultures and traditions while in a foreign country may significantly influence your career and the choices you make in the future.
Unlike customary procedures to set up or take clinical electives, all International Clinical Electives are processed through the Program in International Medicine (M1-302).
The E. Grey Dimond, M.D., Program in International Medicine, in conjunction with the International Academic Programs Office on main campus, will lend its support in our students’ efforts to explore study abroad opportunities. The program will also entertain requests from students enrolled in foreign medical schools who are looking for clerkship opportunities at our School of Medicine.
Faculty members who are interested in planning, coordinating and directing a course overseas for our medical students will receive help, guidance and support from our office. Faculty are requested to contact the Program in International Medicine so we can be part of your endeavor to help prepare our students to lead the medical profession in dealing with the trends and the challenges in international medical care.
The following pages of this website provide additional information for students and faculty interested in international medicine. Please let us know if you have questions or comments.
Sincerely,
