Funding For International EM Fellowship Programs
ƒ Most require the fellows to have their own funding–Usually from the sending government, health ministry, or university–Minimum guaranteed funding requirement for a J1 visa currently is $ 800 per month–Agency for International Development & N.G.O.'s (such as Carelift International) have sponsored some fellows in the past
ƒ Extra funds must be budgeted for attendance at modular courses & state or national meetings
