How is the Program in Brazil Accredited?
Applying international medical students are strongly advised to familiarize themselves with the specific regulations of their home university/medical faculty regarding the acceptance of clinical rotations completed abroad prior to application.
Our program is already successfully accredited by many universities and medical faculties in Germany and several other countries. However, please keep in mind that most universities reserve the right to decide on the acceptance of internships completed abroad—such as Final Year Rotations (Praktisches Jahr – PJ) or Famulatur—on a case-by-case basis.
It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that credit for the internship will be granted. Neither UNESP, the Education Office of the Faculty of Medicine Botucatu (FMB), nor Med’oPolo International Medical Internship Programs can accept responsibility if credit is denied in certain cases. To date, our program in Botucatu, Brazil, has never encountered a single case of accreditation problems.
