Visiting Students




The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) will begin accepting applications for the 2013-2014 Academic Year beginning May 1, 2013. MUSC offers a wide number of electives and externships to medical students who are in the last year of their studies. All applications are reviewed by the department in which the student applies. Students must have successfully completed the basic core clerkships (Internal Medicine, OB/GYN, Pediatrics, Surgery, Psychiatry, and Family Medicine) in order to be eligible - NO EXCEPTIONS. All approvals are at the discretion of the department. Only complete applications are processed. Approval notices are sent via email and will include additional information and requirements. All required documentation must be received 60 days prior to the start of the approved rotation.
Students Applying From LCME Accredited Institutions Applications from students enrolled in LCME accredited institutions can be submitted through the Visiting Student Application Service (VSAS) beginning May 1, 2013.
Students Applying from Schools of Osteopathic Medicine Applications from students enrolled in Osteopathic Medical Schools can be submitted through the Visiting Student Application Service (VSAS) beginning May 1, 2013. All Osteopathic students who are accepted for a visiting student rotation will be required to pay tuition in the amount of $3,035.00.
Underrepresented in Medicine Students The Visiting Elective Program (VEP) is a joint sponsorship by the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) College of Medicine’s Dean’s Office and the Office of Diversity. The goal of the program is to recruit talented underrepresented in medicine (URM) students to MUSC that have met all requirements for visiting student electives. The program provides support for fourth year students (African-American, Native American, Hispanic and Pacific Islander) to participate in rotations throughout MUSC. While gaining experience in their selected disciplines, visiting students have access to the MUSC library, the Center of Academic Excellence and other student facilities, as well as to various educational programs and seminars. http://academicdepartments.musc.edu/com/diversity/programs/VisitClerkshpBrochure.pdf
