Thank you for your interest in our department! We strive to make each clinical rotation an engaging and education experience, and we look forward to learning more about you.
Application processing timeline:
- Applications for May-September that are submitted by February 15 will be assigned by early March.
- Beginning in March, applications for May-September that are submitted by the first day of each month will be reviewed and assigned in the first half of that month.
- Beginning in May, applications for October and November that are submitted by the first day of each month will be reviewed and assigned in the first half of that month.
Overview and recommendations:
All applications must be submitted through the VSLO system.
- Applications for clinical rotations from May-September open in January.
- Applications for clinical rotations in October and November open in May.
- In order to maximize your chances of placement, please apply to ALL months and rotations that you would consider accepting. If your application is designated “eligible” upon review but is then declined, that is because the rotations(s)/month(s) you selected are already filled, and you can apply for other rotation(s)/month(s) if you like.
Application materials:
- Medical school transcript
- Curriculum Vitae
- Letter of recommendation, preferably from an orthopaedic (or other) surgeon (eg, faculty from general surgery clerkship)
