About the Program

FMUSP EXCHANGE PROGRAM

Students enrolled in foreign institutions as undergraduate students may attend classes at USP Medical School (FMUSP) as undergraduate exchange students, thus obtaining credits or developing academic research compatible with their subject fields. To apply, the student must come from a university that has an international exchange agreement specifically with FMUSP (check the list of partner institutions here). 

Important: for students studying at non-affiliated Institutions, there is another hospital practical experience program, organized by our Institution, called USP Medical Rotations Program (all information can be found on the website: https://en.hcxfmusp.org.br/portal/online/curso/hcfmusp-experience/).

  • be enrolled in a medical course at a Foreign Education Institution;
  • have an excellent academic record;
  • be nominated by the international office of your home university (see topic "how to apply");
