Funding Program – Reproductive Health Externships

In order to be accepted into the RHE Funding Program, applicants must arrange an externship with a host facility and complete the necessary supplementing forms.

Arrange an Externship:
Applicants must identify and contact a facility that will provide clinical exposure to at least 50 abortion procedures during the course of their externship.  Many students and residents use this as a chance to train in another part of the country from where they currently live. We recommend choosing a location where you will be able to acquire housing.

Complete and Submit MSFC’s RHE Funding Program Documents:
A complete application must be submitted to MSFC for consideration at least 1 month prior to the start date of your externship.

Accessing Your Stipend:
Funding will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis to applicants who meet all program requirements. Priority is given to applicants who are not likely to receive clinical exposure to abortion care in their medical school or residency curricula. Please note: funding is intended to help offset expenses incurred by students during the course of their externships such as travel, housing, transportation, etc. and does not cover your ongoing living expenses (i.e. current rent, food, car payments, etc).

Students and residents approved for funding must complete a Pre-Externship Survey and a Post-Externship Survey. Funding is distributed in two payments with the first payment issued halfway through the externship, and the second payment issued upon externship completion and receipt of the Post-Externship Survey.
