Applications will be solicited and evaluated on a rolling basis, and applicants chosen on the basis of their interest in tropical medicine or international health, their training and career goals, curriculum vitae and letters of recommendation.

Competency in French will be mandatory for trainees in Clinical Medicine, and helpful but not required for research training. Research experience is preferred but not required for research trainees.
