Following the guidelines set forth in the LCME memo of July 1989, a limited number of clinical electives are available for students from LCME approved medical schools who have completed their clinical curriculum (Medicine, OB/GYN, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Surgery, and Family Medicine. Visiting students are generally limited to a maximum of two (2) one month electives. Our students have first priority in selecting rotations and consequently we cannot always accommodate visiting students at the time or in the discipline requested.

Visiting students MUST have current student status in an accredited LCME medical school or AOA Osteopathic medical school. Students will be required to provide Dean's letter with written verification of professional liability coverage and verification of current immunizations (see form below) and TITERS RESULTS (need copy of titer lab results) WE ONLY ACCEPT SENIOR STUDENTS, please do not send an application until you are a senior.

Students are, also, required to have health insurance current OSHA training and HIPAA training. Students who rotate through the WVU Medical School from LCME- accredited medical schools or AOA Osteopathic medical schools are required to show the items listed above and also watch a HIPAA video provided by CAMC upon arrival Orientation morning.

I am sorry but we do not accept medical students from non-LCME International medical schools for visiting rotations.
