Guest Medical Students

Medical students enrolled at a medical school in the United States are eligible to apply for guest student elective study at Indiana University School of Medicine. International medical students will be accepted for patient care rotations only if their universities have a preexisting, written agreement with IU School of Medicine. Qualified MD students interested in taking an MD elective at IU School of Medicine as a visiting student can visit the AAMC/VSLO website for details on how to apply. In addition to the VSAS application, guest students must submit the following application materials:

Apply

Guest students are eligible to complete one elective rotation at the IU School of Medicine. Rotation applications are accepted through VSLO (formerly VSAS).

Guest Student Application

Immunization Form

IU School of Medicine accepts the AAMC Standardized Immunization Form for electives beginning after June 30, 2017. This form can be printed or downloaded from the VSAS site and must be completed and signed by the applicant’s physician. A fully up-to-date immunization and eligibility chart is required and must be uploaded at least 45 days prior to the start of the elective. If any part of the guest student’s immunization form is out of date, processing of the application will be delayed or possibly revoked.

Test Scores

Guest student applicants must upload a copy of their USMLE STEP 1 or COMLEX LEVEL 1 board score for departmental use. Some IU School of Medicine departments will not review guest student applications without this information.

Application Processing Fee

An application processing fee of $60 is due upon the guest student’s acceptance of an elective offer. This payment must be made online via the IU Event link on the IU School of Medicine Online Payment Portal. This payment is due after a course is approved and accepted by the student. Students receive information about payment with the VSAS offer.
