The MICEFA Medical Program has promoted the exchange of medical students in almost all specializations to pursue both clinical and research objectives. The MICEFA enables American medical students to complete some of their clinical electives in one of five prestigious French Schools of Medicine,

Directing them to one of the five Parisian medical universities :

Our American partners are :

• Harvard Medical School (including the Harold English Fellowshhip in Cardiology)
• George Washington University (including Pharmacology for fourth year student)

Generally, the French Medical students go to the United States during the months of July and August to complete two clinical electives. The calendar for the American students who come to Paris for 4-6 weeks is totally flexible, however we find that students tend to come during the spring or summer.
