Going abroad

Four weeks in a hospital or a lab somewhere else in the world, arranged through IFMSA. You pick the country, apply through AUSSS and IFMSA-Egypt, and arrive to lodging, a meal a day and a doctor or mentor expecting you.

  • Pick a country and project from the IFMSA exchange portal.

  • Apply through AUSSS and IFMSA-Egypt with the required documents.

  • Travel for a four-week (SCOPE) or four-to-eight-week (SCORE) clerkship.

  • Get lodging, at least one meal a day, and a supervising doctor or mentor.

  • Earn an official certificate with at least 80% attendance.
