Visiting Elective Scholarship Program
We are pleased to offer the Visiting Elective Scholarship Program (VESP) for the academic year of 2021-2022, which provides financial support to senior U.S. medical students who are traditionally underrepresented in medicine, and who are interested in applying to UCLA for a senior clinical elective.
4th year Medical Students - Elective Information
We anticipate being able to host visiting students for the 2021-2022 academic year, in accordance with the recommendations provided by the Coalition for Physician Accountability. This would also be contingent on approval from our affiliated sites to host visiting students and abide by these recommendations. The recommendations are as follows:
For the 2021-22 academic year, away rotations resume no earlier than July 12, 2021, with the following guidance:
- (Update as of 4/15/21) Starting April 15, learners may begin applying for and scheduling in-person away rotations with a start date of July 12, 2021, or later.
- Rotations will be limited to one in-person away elective per specialty department. This means that students may participate in two electives at UCLA if they are with two different departments, but will not be able to participate in two Pediatric electives (for example: a Pediatric Ward experience and a Pediatric Cardiology elective).
At this time, these recommendations are only for students at US medical schools that utilize VSLO/VSAS. For international visiting students, we do anticipate being able to accept students from our affiliated partner institutions. Please contact [email protected] for more information.
