Letter to the Supervising Doctor

Dear Doctor,

We would like to thank you for participating in the largest student-run exchange program in the world.

The exchange program of the IFMSA (International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations) is a non-profit and volunteer project run by students, for students. With over 8300 students travelling on exchanges per year, it represents a great opportunity for foreign and local students, as well as our faculties and health care institutions, to share medical knowledge in a professional context. As a tutor, you are invited to participate from this unique experience sharing knowledge and contrasting cultural differences by guiding the foreign student during its practice in order to make the exchange a high quality and unforgettable experience.

In order to ensure that our student gets the best out of their clerkship with your department and to provide feedback about the placement, we kindly ask that you:

- Meet with the student at the beginning of the clerkship to discuss expectations and goals of the clerkship

- Together with the student, fill out all the parts of this handbook.

- Sign the certificate of clerkship providing student has met with your expectations.

We hope that this clerkship will be a memorable experience for you as much as for our students.

Thank you for your cooperation.
