Applications for away rotations in the Department of Dermatology will be accepted from 2/1/26 through 4/1/26, with notification of acceptance 4 weeks prior to your approved rotation.  

Rotation dates for the Fall Semester are as follows:

  • 7/6/26-7/31/26
  • 8/3/26-8/28/26
  • 8/31/26-9/25/26
  • 9/28/26-10/23/26

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 Carver College of Medicine application process to formally apply through the Carver College of Medicine to be approved as a visiting student. Until this process is complete, the elective as approved first by the Department is not “official.”
