Visiting Scholars Program
The MOSAIC Visiting Scholars Program (VSP) offers four to six-week electives at 澳门开奖结果 Health + Hospitals for medical students and trainees from underrepresented backgrounds. The goal is to have the 澳门开奖结果 Health + Hospitals鈥� physician workforce that better reflects our patient population by creating experiential, clinical, and mentorship opportunities across 澳门开奖结果 Health + Hospitals.
MOSAIC VSP will run two cohorts per year. Each VSP participant will be matched to a 澳门开奖结果 H+H participating site and will conduct clinical shadowing, didactic sessions, practical learnings, simulation and experiential training opportunities. The goal is to allow participants to develop and refine their professional development skills, gain clinical exposure and strengthen their commitment to social justice and serving vulnerable populations. The rotations will take place between August 鈥� November, 2024 and January 鈥� March, 2025, depending on the availability of the placement.
Participants accepted into MOSAIC VSP will be provided a stipend ($2,000 stipend for 4 weeks and $3,000 for 6 weeks) and an additional $2,000 housing stipend for participants that are not based in the New York City metro area. Students from the 澳门开奖结果 metro area are expected to cover their own housing costs.
