ACP's Global Physician Scholar (GPS) Program provides opportunities for early/mid-career physicians from outside the United States and Canada to gain expertise in a focused area relating to the prevention, diagnosis, and/or management of a clinical problem in internal medicine and the subspecialties.
The intent of the program is threefold: 1) to allow early/mid-career physicians the opportunity to participate in short-term experiences in the US/Canada, 2) allow scholars to participate in Internal Medicine Meeting 2024 (IMM24), and 3) enable scholars to acquire updated knowledge and skill to improve the delivery of care in their home country.
Potential hosts can expect:
-
To provide a four-week schedule for their Scholar to expand their clinical knowledge (inclusive of, but not limited to, multiple department visits, instrumentation and technology utilization, grand rounds, scientific meetings, research, or practice conducted). No direct patient care may be offered.
-
Effectively communicate to the Scholar their role and responsibilities of the program.
-
Assure the Scholar adheres to the requirements of the program
-
Assist the design of an independent project to be implemented in the Scholar’s country upon their return.
-
To be recognized on the ACP Global Physician Scholar web page and showcased during the Internal Medicine Meeting.
