Travel and prepare for your future career in healthcare

The Doctors in Italy Fellowship Program was created to introduce students to the practice of healthcare in an international environment, as early as possible in their academic career.

 

In a world that is increasingly borderless, the next generation of young leaders in healthcare will need to build cooperation and trust across different cultures and backgrounds.

 

The Doctors in Italy Fellowship Program enables undergraduate and graduate students to shadow healthcare professionals, in top-ranked government and private healthcare facilities across Italy.
