A "carte mobile" is an inter-university rotation that is 12 months or longer in duration (trainees are based and paid by the host school). To apply for a "carte mobile", trainees must submit a written request to their Program Director, which must include details of the pedagogical plan for that year of training. While on a "carte mobile", remuneration is the responsibility of the host hospital who, in turn, will bill the RAMQ according to the usual procedure. Please note that in the case of Fellows, funding will continue to be provided by the approved sponsor, since the stipend is not paid by the RAMQ (R茅gie de l'assurance maladie du Qu茅bec).
