Opportunity: Atlantis programs this summer and University Partnerships for next year

Dear Thea,     We wanted to touch base with you as summer approaches. If you have students who have not filled their summers with opportunities that will prepare them for pre-health school applications, The Atlantis Fellowship is an option to consider. We are still accepting applications for programs ranging from 2 to 8 weeks. With heavy, specialized credit loads, we know how difficult it is for your students to find time to get a significant volume of shadowing hours. We also know how difficult it can be to travel abroad while fulfilling pre-health curricula. Our hope is to help your students get both shadowing hours and to give them an opportunity to better understand international healthcare systems.  Atlantis Fellows get 20 hours/week of ethical, AAMC-compliant shadowing hours in an international healthcare system, experience a new culture, and connect with future colleagues in the medical professions. There is no application fee, and the application can be found here. We have programs at the beginning, middle and end of summer in countries such as Italy, Spain, Greece, Hungary, and Ecuador. While the majority of our Fellows independently sign up for programs, we also have custom group Fellowship options available for universities that wish to bring their own group. Custom programs, in the past, have allowed for students to get credit, take classes while abroad, and still get all of the benefits that a student attending individually would receive. For more information on custom group programs, please schedule a call with me using this link: https://calendly.com/john-wulsin. Kind regards, John Wulsin Institutional Relations Manager The Atlantis Fellowship
