Exchange Conditions of ANEMF

If the student can attest of at least a level B2 or higher of CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference) in French, he can apply to every LC and doesn’t need any english certificate.

If the student doesn’t speak French or have a level B1 or lower of CEFR in French, he needs to attest of at last a level B2 of CEFR in English and he can only apply to these LCs: Angers, Besançon, Bobigny, Caen, Clermont-Ferrand, Créteil, Dijon, Grenoble, Nancy, Poitiers, Saint-Etienne, Toulouse, Tours.

Be careful: if your French or English level is not good enough, you might invalidate your clerkship.
The joined certificate could be an equivalent of CEFR.

Read carefully all of our Explore pages, because some of our LCs have specific conditions.

We only accept students who have validated their 3rd year of medical studies by the beginning of the exchange (meaning we accept students in the summer before their 4th year).

Newly graduated students are accepted (graduation no later than 6 months before the start of the exchange)

Dress-code: Veils are forbidden in the hospital for the medical staff. Your hair must be attached and your shoes have to be closed.
France is a secular country, so any sign of religion in public places for its workers (students included) is forbidden.

If you are willing to do a nightshift, you're not going to be paid for it and you MUST have the approval of the head of department.

Incoming students can only choose one local committees among the following on their AF:

- Paris 7

- Paris Ouest

- Créteil

- Bobigny

- Kremlin-Bicêtre

- Toulouse 

- Marseille

- Strasbourg

But choosing one of those LCs is not mandatory

(if not respected, the AF will be sent back)

LCs where French is REQUIRED : Brest, Kremlin-Bicêtre, Marseille, Montpellier, Nîmes, Paris 7, Paris Ouest, Reims, Rennes, Rouen, Strasbourg.

LCs available for non french-speakers : Angers, Besançon, Bobigny, Caen, Clermont-Ferrand, Créteil, Dijon, Grenoble, Nancy, Poitiers, Saint-Etienne, Toulouse, Tours.

Periods :

1. The exchange period has to begin on a Monday and to end on a Friday.
2. Students who want to come in a period that falls within two months have to send an email to the NEO before sending their AF.

Generally varies depending on the LC.
A National Social Program is organized once or twice during summer. 

When asked to be placed together (no more than two), you'll be guaranteed to be placed in the same city but you will have different lodgings and different departments.
In France, you will mostly be hosted at our OG's place. In majority it's students' flats so no possibility to place two foreign students in the same flat.

N.B: some LCs are refunding lunches (one hot meal per day) on the presentation of recipes. Ask the concerned LEO and of course keep preciously all the recipes, otherwise refund won't be possible. Other LCs would give a canteen card to the students upon arrival which will allow them to have lunch for free at the hospital. 

Invitation letter must be asked at least 10 weeks before the clerkship.

Vaccination card in roman letters, in English or in French (Compulsory vaccinations: hepatitis B, diphtheria, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, varicella titers, tuberculosis)
The student must be able to prove his/her vaccinal status IF asked upon arrival at the hospital (contact the LEO for further information).

Health insurance : It covers expenses linked to health issues (if you have to see a doctor and buy drugs on prescription). 
However, this insurance CANNOT be arranged in our country, and should be arranged in your home country. ANEMF recommends to Incoming Students from the European Union that they procure a European Health Insurance Card for the period of their clerkship

Liability insurance : It covers expenses related to damages done to people or material goods by the student outside from his professional duties.
We can advice you some online websites where you can find affordable liability insurances, please ask your NEO to contact the French NEO for that. 

Malpractice insurance : It covers students if harm is done to a patient during their professional duties.
You don't have to deal with the malpractice insurance, our LEO will insure you freely with a french insurance company. Ask to your french LEO when you will get your CA.

It is not always possible to place students in the city they’ve selected.
We have limited spots in all of our LCs, especially Paris.
Students are placed according to the date of reception of the AF (First AFs sent, first served) and their French level if they chose an LC where French is cumpulsory.

For some LCs, you will receive a "Convention tripartite"[clerkship agreement] (required by the French administration), that has to be signed by your university, the French university and the French hospital. If this document is not signed by your university, the clerkship will be canceled.

We only provide lodging for the mentioned period in the CA. If the student wishes to arrive before or after this period, the student must contact their French LEO and their CP by an email asking their permission.

We prefer substitutions over cancellations.

Substitutions : same LC, same department, same gender.
