Background: International health experiences have been shown to increase students' and residents' interest in public health, their likelihood of choosing a career in primary care, and their commitment to serving the underserved. The purpose of the current study is to describe the international experiences available to students and residents at U.S. allopathic medical schools. Method: An online survey was conducted to collect information about the types of international opportunities in medical education provided to faculty, students, and residents at U.S. allopathic medical schools. Results: Reponses from 103 representatives of 96 U.S. allopathic medical schools were included in the analysis. A variety of opportunities for students and residents was reported, with 59% of the respondents reporting elective rotations for residents, 11% reporting a global health track for students, and 45% reporting opportunities to perform preclinical research abroad. Conclusions: Despite associated costs and risks, U.S. medical schools are developing and refining international health experiences for medical students and residents.
