So I've always wanted to spend a summer between my undergraduate years overseas, but I never thought that it was a realistic idea and never looked into it. Now that I learned that a few people I know are spending their summer in India doing a clinical internship, it got me thinking that maybe it's not that farfetched.

Does anyone know of any overseas summer problems that focuses on research (preferably clinical) or is a clinical internship? I'm not talking about the kind where you have to pay to volunteer - I'm thinking of the positions that offer a stipend of some sort.

They'll probably update it soon for summer 2015. Apart from these, you could google international opportunities, especially the kind that are sponsored by departments of the government.

I would look first for any opportunities offered at your school. I found the perfect program through the international studies department at mine!

This is a great list of opportunities, but most are for undergraduates, not medical students. Has anyone heard of specific programs for those in medical school?
