VSLO and Visiting Students

U.S. Students from LCME-accredited schools must apply to visit our program through the Visiting Student Learning Opportunities Application Service (VSLO) for the current academic year. We are not currently accepting visiting students from international institutions.

The VSLO Catalog for the upcoming academic year is typically viewable in mid-February. For most specialties, applications open on or near May 1.
