SURF is the premier internship programme for Caymanian university students who study or intend to study medicine. Our programme has been developed over many years with considerable focus on offering interns broad exposure during their training. We provide a welcoming environment and comprehensive orientation, a broad case mix with great learning opportunities, and strong supervision and teaching. SURF Fellows receive a CI$1,000 stipend. Our interns are mentored by one of our world-class doctors, attend lectures led by our specialist experts and, when possible, have the opportunity to view surgeries. Our dedicated doctors are passionately committed to the programme and to providing the support and guidance needed to our SURF Fellows to help them achieve their goals and future career aspirations.
