The Department of Dermatology offers fourth-year electives to visiting medical students enrolled in a LCME accredited medical school during the months of July through October.  These four-week rotations are approved and arranged by the department.

Following approval from the Department of Dermatology, the applicant will need to complete the application process outlined here . Upon completion of these criteria, you will be allowed to formally apply and be approved as a visiting student.  (Until this process is complete, the elective as approved first by the Department is not “official”).
