International
Graduate Exchange Trainee Program (IGET)
The IGET Program provides opportunities
for Ph.D. candidates at foreign universities to perform dissertation
research in the laboratory of a mentor at the
Medical College of Georgia.
The first trainees arrived in January,
2002. As of January, 2008, seven trainees have completed their
program and returned to China. Twenty one trainees are currently working in laboratories at the Medical
College of Georgia.
Trainees receive financial support
comparable to that awarded to biomedical sciences Ph.D. students at
the Medical College of Georgia. Trainees receive a Ph.D. degree from
their home institution. They do not receive a degree from the
Medical College of Georgia.
