The American Clinical Experience (ACE)

The American Clinical Experience (ACE) Pathway Program for International Medical Students provides students with opportunities to collaborate, learn, and build critical skills through guided clinical experiences with distinguished clinical instructors and faculty mentors. High-quality evidence-based education in clinical practice, research integration, and innovative multi-faceted, clinically integrated assessments and techniques allow students to gain skills in various medical specialties and best practices in US healthcare.

Our program is centered on a shared commitment to exceptional patient care and the aim to educate the next generation of physician leaders. We select highly motivated medical students who showcase professionalism, strong academic backgrounds, and embrace lifelong learning and teamwork—to join as valued team members for participation in the American Clinical Experience (ACE) program for International Medical Students.

Students accepted to the program will be placed in rotations under the supervision of experienced US physicians in outpatient settings. A variety of 1 month, 3-month, and 6-month elective rotations are offered. Qualified students are enrolled in electives on a rolling basis based on availability and capacity permits. Upon successful completion of clinical rotations, each student receives a letter of completion and a clinical evaluation from his or her instructor. Letter of recommendations (LORs) will be uploaded to the AAMC portal during the residency application process.
