About this program
USF Health Morsani College of Medicine International Training Programs (Tampa, FL) is the umbrella catalog page for INTL trainee pathways administered by USF Medicine International office. The hub covers multiple distinct sub-programs serving different audiences and durations: (1) International Medical Trainee (IMT) Observership for INTL final-year medical students and recent graduates — see #217 in this directory for the specific listing; (2) Neurosurgery Observer Program — see #216 in this directory; (3) Scholarly Concentration tracks; (4) Subspecialty Training pathways. Each sub-program has its own eligibility criteria, fees, application process, and contact channels. This hub page is a discovery entry point — for actual application, navigate to the specific sub-program listing. Contact for general questions: [email protected] (USF Medicine International office). NOTE: Distinct from USF Health / Tampa General Hospital US M4 VSLO program (Tampa General is USF's primary teaching hospital — that visiting student program is a separate listing in this directory, #152).
