Visiting Student Electives

Visiting medical student electives are available for senior medical students interested in otolaryngology or audiology. These rotations generally last four weeks, occur between July and November of the senior year, and are competitively approved and arranged by a faculty committee within the Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery.

Applications are accepted January through March each year. Visiting students may apply after the March deadline, but acceptance will depend on availability and space.
