Visiting Students

Many UCSF School of Medicine electives are available to visiting students who are currently registered in their final year at an accredited medical or osteopathic school in the U.S. or Canada. When space is available, U.S., Canadian and osteopathic visiting students may apply to participate in our electives. There is no remuneration for these electives and neither room nor board is provided.
