New Information for the Academic Year 2014-2015 (July-January) will be posted April 2014

The Visiting Student program does not offer rotations from February through June each year.

Applicants must be in good academic standing, be actively pursuing the Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree and have completed all third year core clerkships by the start of a scheduled elective.

VSAS Information

The Brody School of Medicine uses VSAS, the Visiting Student Application Service, to receive visiting fourth year medical student applications. To apply, complete and submit the electronic VSAS application for your preferred electives.

For more information on VSAS, visit www.aamc.org/programs/vsas or contact VSAS at vsas@aamc.org .

Only students enrolled at US LCME or US AOA accredited institutions may use VSAS to submit applications and supporting documents.

Brody is listed in VSAS under the letter "T" for The Brody SOM.

General Information:

Visiting medical students will be accommodated only after their applications have been processed first through the Office of Student Affairs. Acceptance by a department or supervisor does not constitute approval for a visiting student elective.

The Brody School of Medicine's medical students have priority in registering for electives, and visiting students are offered the remaining spots.

Visiting students are permitted a total of 8 weeks at Brody.

Electives are available from July through January of each academic year.

All approved visiting medical students are required to adhere to the BSOM M4 Academic Calendar which is found on the "4th Year Curriculum" page (see link in the left margin).

If accepted, there is a $70 non-refundable Processing Fee for the first elective only.
