Foreign Visiting Scholars

UTHealth Houston welcomes visiting scholars from across the United States and around the world for observation, research training, and educational experiences. Individuals interested in participating in one of the below categories, must contact directly the department of choice to identify a faculty sponsor. Once the faculty sponsor agrees to host an Observer, Professional Trainee or Visiting Student, the department will initiate an application through the Visiting Scholars Program (VSP) Online System.  The VSP process includes background checks to verify the credentials and affiliations of visiting scholars. Any connections to organizations or individuals with a history of involvement in criminal or security-threatening activities are thoroughly investigated.
