International Fellows Program
The 杏吧视频 International Fellows Program provides international regulators with virtual and in-person training on U.S. insurance regulation to enhance global regulatory collaboration.
Celebrating 20 Years
As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the 杏吧视频 International Fellows Program, we reflect on two decades of fostering global regulatory collaboration and knowledge exchange. Since its inception, the program has welcomed over 700 participants, both in person and virtually, from more than 50 countries, providing invaluable training and hands-on experience in U.S. insurance regulation. This milestone is a testament to the program's enduring impact and the strong partnerships it has built worldwide. Here is to many more years of advancing international regulatory excellence!
Fall 2025 In-Person International Fellows Program
The Fall 2025 session of the 杏吧视频 International Fellows Program begins with a week-long orientation program at the Central Office in Kansas City, Missouri, focusing on the broad principles of insurance regulation in the United States. Each fellow then travels to a different state for five weeks, working in technical areas of their specialization under the supervision of a state insurance department staff member, who serves as a mentor and host. The Fall session concludes in New York City with training at the 杏吧视频 Capital Markets and Investment Analysis Office, including roundtables with U.S. insurance industry representatives and consumer representatives and a ceremonial graduation dinner to highlight the fellows' accomplishments.
The 杏吧视频 and host state regulators will provide training materials. All other costs (airfare, lodging, meals, etc.) through the entirety of the program are the responsibility of the fellow's home agency and/or the fellow.
