Intealth Well-being Grant Opportunity

Projects Supporting Foreign National Physician Wellness

Foreign national physician residents and fellows provide critical health care services and add cultural diversity in training hospitals across the United States. They also potentially face unique challenges, such as navigating visa requirements, transitioning to a new health care system and culture, and feeling socially isolated. Intealth seeks to support foreign national physician wellness, thereby promoting successful clinical and cultural exchange for J-1 physicians and delivery of quality patient care.

In 2023, Intealth launched its annual Well-being Grant Opportunity, which supports innovative and impactful projects addressing foreign national physicians' well-being needs. Please monitor this page for information on the winning projects and details on the next grant opportunity.
