Once again, this year the Foundation is collaborating with the Colegio de Médicos de las Islas Baleares (the official medical school of the Balearic Islands) to give out grants for External Rotation of MIR (Spanish Resident Medical Interns). The purpose of these grants is to provide training to doctors who are completing their residency in hospitals in the Balearic Islands, offering them the chance to spend at least one month in hospital centres in Spain and abroad during the last year of their residency or once they have completed their residency.
