072
National Institute of Health OTHER GENERAL INFORMATION The CEP is not optimal for international students, as an introduction to the health care system or practice of clinical medicine in the United States. International students should also note that CEP is not designed as a vehicle to enhance competitiveness for acceptance into US speciality or subspecialty graduate medical education training programs ("residencies or fellowships"). While a medical student interested in obtaining short-term, introductory experience with the U.S. healthcare system may submit an application, we do not encourage this approach. The CEP is more appropriate for students who are interested in obtaining experience with the medical care of patients enrolled in clinical research protocols and who have a career interest in highly subspecialized patient care. Students should bring their own white coat as students are not issued white coats during their electives.
