Nemours Children’s Visiting Student Scholar Program
Our vision at Nemours is to create the healthiest generations of children. We will accomplish this by going well beyond medicine to improve the world in which every child lives. Part of that commitment is helping build a culturally competent, health care workforce. This is one way we can improve outcomes and health opportunities for all.
Nemours Children’s Visiting Student Scholar Program invites fourth-year students from an accredited U.S. or Puerto Rican medical school with unique backgrounds to apply. Nemours offers a competitive stipend to offset travel and accommodations. Applicants must be in good academic standing and the deadline for application is May 31 each year.
We define "visiting student scholars" underrepresented in medicine as any racial, ethnic, religious, socioeconomic, or ability status group whose numbers in medicine are not reflective of that group’s population of the United States. Rotation options include Hospital Medicine, Social Drivers of Health, Gastroenterology (GI), Hematology/ Oncology (Heme/Onc), Emergency Medicine (ED), Pediatric Intensive Care (PICU), Infectious Disease and Pulmonology. Rotations can be scheduled from July 1 to October 31 each year.
Visiting students are fully integrated into clinical and educational opportunities, including opportunities to meet with program leadership, faculty, and residents for mentoring and discussion of career interests. Visiting students who complete all of the rotation requirements are guaranteed an interview with Nemours.
Additional Experiences
Attendance at all resident didactics, inclusion focused topic discussion sessions, House Staff and a Faculty Mentor, attendance at organizational level meetings about inclusion and opportunity networking and more.
Nemours Commitment to Opportunity
Nemours is committed to the health and well-being of all children, families and our associates. Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Alignment (IDEA) is leading organizational transformation and alignment to support our vision to go well beyond medicine, including how health-related social needs impact our children and the communities we live in.
Nemours is an Anti-Hate, Anti-Violence Organization.
We define being an anti-hate, anti-violence organization as creating an environment where all children, families and associates know they are valued. We challenge ourselves to identify, discuss, and understand all the areas and health-related social needs that impact children’s health, and to make sure all children and families have equal opportunities for the best outcomes. We are committed to combatting health disparities in the United States through all of the many factors that impact the health of children. This includes working to achieve health outcomes for all children, by addressing the drivers of health and providing opportunities including but not limited to medical care.
