Visiting Medical Student Sub-Internship

Existing allopathic or osteopathic students from other university programs within the United States are welcome to apply to take fourth-year clinical electives or sub-internships via Visiting Student Learning Opportunities^™ (VSLO^®). 

The VSLO is an Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) application designed for medical students to apply for senior electives at U.S. medical schools and teaching hospitals. See the VSLO website to apply for an elective.

This opportunity is administered and overseen by the Office of Medical Education (OME).

The demand for educational experiences far exceeds our ability to accommodate them. We have, therefore, established a policy that will keep open visiting student opportunities for domestic students, and we will continue to meet our current exchange program obligations for foreign-trained students.

Supplemental Application required to be considered for an away elective in our department; link is below.

Please note acceptance and completion of an away elective here in Buffalo does not guarantee an interview during recruitment season.
