CEU Scholarships for Clinical Internships in the United States

CEU is proud to be the first University in Spain to offer its students scholarships to undertake clinical placements at prestigious hospitals in the United States.

The aim of this initiative is to enhance our students' education and training. The Faculty of Medicine has one of the highest proportions of international students in Europe, and is the first faculty in Spain to offer clinical placements in the USA supported by a scholarship programme.

The scholarship programme provides the funding for students to undertake three five-week clinical rotations as part of the compulsory external practical training component for 6th-year students. The placements will take place at prestigious healthcare institutions in Chicago and New York.

The scholarship includes:

  • Funding for three clinical rotations at US hospitals together with a learning plan enabling the training to be formally recognized in Spain – students must undertake a further two rotations on their return to complete the external practical training component for the sixth year of the Medicine degree.

  • Liability (required for placements in the USA), and assistance in applying for a visa and looking for accommodation.
