Visiting Scholars Program
The MOSAIC Visiting Scholars Program (VSP) offers four-week at NYC Health + Hospitals for medical students and trainees who are interested in serving H+H’s diverse patient populations. The goal is to have the NYC Health + Hospitals’ physician workforce that better reflects our patient population by creating experiential, clinical, and mentorship opportunities across NYC Health + Hospitals.
MOSAIC VSP will run two cohorts per year. Each VSP participant will be matched to a NYC H+H participating site and will conduct clinical shadowing, didactic sessions, practical learnings, simulation and experiential training. The goal is to allow participants to develop and refine their professional development skills, gain clinical exposure and strengthen their commitment to social justice and serving vulnerable populations. The rotations will take place between August – November, 2025 and January – April, 2026, depending on the availability of the placement.
Participants accepted into MOSAIC VSP will be provided a $2,000 stipend for the rotation and an additional $2,000 housing stipend for participants that are not based in the New York City metro area. Students from the NYC metro area are expected to cover their own housing costs. Students from underrepresented backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

The MOSAIC Visiting Scholars Program is open to medical students who have completed their Core rotations. The total number of slots will depend on the availability of individual placements and funding.
Medical students must be attending a U.S. accredited allopathic medical school (i.e., are enrolled in Medical Degree-granting programs) or osteopathic medical schools (i.e., are enrolled in Doctor of Osteopathy-granting programs).
Applicants must submit their application to MOSAIC@nychhc.org by March 28, 2025. The VSP team will review applications and offer interviews to a select number of candidates based on a matching process from applicants’ elective preferences.
Final decisions will be emailed by April 25.
All accepted VSP Students will receive funding of $2,000 for four-week rotations as a stipend to defray living expenses. There is an additional $2,000 housing stipend for students not from the New York City metro area.
Placements will take place between August – November, 2025 and January – April, 2026. Students will specify which of the two placement windows they would prefer in the application.
