Medical Student, Visiting Resident and Fellow Clinical Rotations

We offer two and four week clerkship inpatient elective rotations in anesthesiology, diagnostic radiology, internal medicine, general surgery and urology. These clerkships serve mainly as a teaching experience with any "service" function being incidental. Fourth year medical students must apply to these clerkships via AAMC Visiting Student Learning Opportunities (VSLO).

Virginia Mason Franciscan Health plans to adhere to the ACGME’s Coalition for Physician Accountability’s recommendations regarding medical student away rotations for the academic year:

• Applications will be submitted through VSLO.
• Applications will be reviewed starting May 1. Please note that you have not been accepted for an elective until you receive a letter of approval from Virginia Mason Franciscan Health Graduate Medical Education through VSLO.
• Medical student rotations may resume as early as June 24, but are limited to only one rotation in one specialty per learner (with exception for cases where additional rotations are needed to complete graduation or accreditation requirements).
• Applicant's must have the AAMC Affiliation Agreement signed by the school before the application will be reviewed. Virginia Mason Franciscan Health only accepts AAMC Affiliation Agreements.
• VSLO Sign-in

Other rotations are offered to currently enrolled fourth year medical students.
