In Their Words

Welcome to In Their Words

During this difficult time, many international programs have been canceled or postponed. Now more than ever, we remain committed to support your future goals.

USF Medicine International, in collaboration with USF Health International, will host an interview series titled In Their Words.

This series will provide you the opportunity to hear our medical students, international observers and subspecialty trainees share their stories of what international medicine means to them. We hope you find it useful as you navigate your future role in global health delivery.
