The Mount Sinai International Exchange Program for Minority Students invites recent minority graduates and current undergraduate and graduate minority students to participate in an exciting and unique international exchange program. Interns are given the opportunity to conduct community-based research under the guidance of a prominent international scientist in one of six countries. Interns will see their research skills strengthened and their cultural and linguistic abilities validated, and will experience and contribute to an international scientific collaboration. Upon their return to the United States, interns will be skilled in community-based research and motivated to become key contributors to the nation's quest to address health disparities.

This program is funded by the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities of the National Institutes of Health.
