International Observership Program in Neurology
The UNMC Department of Neurological Sciences International Observership Program in Neurology builds on UNMC’s mission to educate future leaders in healthcare. This program offers physicians from around the world the opportunity to observe our physicians and residents in practice.
The Department of Neurological Sciences invites individuals with a clear commitment to a career in neurology to apply for a clinical observership of up to one calendar month.
Accepted participants are responsible for securing their own visa, transport, travel medical insurance and housing.
Accepted participants will be able to observe patient care provided by attendings and residents, and will participate in discussions, patient-oriented conferences and other didactic sessions. Observers will not be involved in direct patient care.
To apply for the Observership, please review the Overview and complete the online application. Once your initial application has been reviewed, if approved, we will notify you to submit the items listed in the checklist portion of the overview. If you have any questions, please email us at: unmcneuroobserver@unmc.edu.
Fees and Refund Policy:
Once an applicant is accepted into the Observership Program, a program fee of $1,500 USD is required to secure their place. This fee covers administrative costs and access to resources throughout the Observership. Payment is due within two weeks of receiving the invoice.
If an accepted participant must cancel prior to the start date, a $200 administrative cancellation fee will be deducted from the refund. All cancellations must be submitted in writing via email. Please note that no refunds will be issued once the Observership has begun.
We strongly recommend that applicants finalize travel arrangements and confirm visa status (if applicable) immediately upon receiving their acceptance, and prior to the invoice due date.
