The UCSF Visiting Student Program provides 4th year medical students across the nation the opportunity to enroll in a short-term away rotation at UCSF to enhance their medical education. These elective opportunities include a variety of clinical and research clerkships in the University's multiple departments that provide student medical education in our teaching hospitals around San Francisco.
The UCSF School of Medicine uses the AAMC Visiting Student Application Service (VSAS) to receive applications from US medical and osteopathic students.
Applicants must be in good academic standing and actively progressing toward a Doctor of Medicine degree at an affiliated LCME-accredited institution, or a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree at an affiliated COCA-accredited, AACOM member institution.
