Apply for SNO Exchange 2020 (Fully-funded to Mexico)

Since 2017 we have been providing SNO students with an opportunity to apply for an exchange program at the annual TUFH conference co-hosting university. The exchange program provides, on average, two students with a chance to participate in health system placement in another country, and usually on another continent! The SNO Exchange has been a collaboration between GEMx and SNO in the past years. The 2020 SNO Exchange is a collaboration between SNO, TUFH and the local co-host: UNAM and powered by ECFMG & FAIMER

To apply you have to be a member of SNO or GEMx student whose school is part of the GEMx networks. You have to be a current student in a health sciences program, and highly motivated to participate in this internship. Fully commitment to the program is necessary to gain the most out of this opportunity. The winner(s) receives fully paid travel and accommodation for the duration of the exchange as well as during the TUFH conference, the conference registration, and a health care department placement.
