The Visiting Medical Student Program enriches both the Brody School of Medicine and the visiting medical student. Applicants must be in good academic standing and actively pursuing the Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree.
 
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 and dates.

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)
