The medical school only accepts applications from international students who 1) attend one of the schools listed in the below link and 2) have been approved by their school to rotate with us.

Elective course directors and coordinators, please share this link with any international students who reach out to you. It is possible for international students to do observerships through your department, but this is coordinated by the department and not by the VP&S Office of Medical Education.
