Medical Electives in Paris with MICEFA!
For 30 years, the MICEFA Medical Program has promoted the exchange of medical students with the objective of enabling students to experience a comparative approach to medical practices. We allow students to participate in a medical exchange abroad for one to two months in one of our partner university hospitals in almost all specializations (in both clinical and research electives). This reciprocal exchange program is strictly limited to medical students enrolled in partnering medical schools in the United States and France.
