Visiting Medical Students
NYMC accepts visiting medical students – from LCME/AOA accredited schools – who are actively progressing toward their degree at their institutions – who wish to take elective courses at NYMC.
If you would like to take electives at NYMC SOM as a visiting student you must be:
- a full-time matriculated student at an LCM/AOA accredited school
- in your final year of training
- in good academic standing at your home school
You can apply through AAMC’s Visiting Student Application Service (VSAS).
As a visiting students may enroll in up to eight weeks of elective courses during any academic year.
No tuition will be charged by NYMC; however, adequate malpractice insurance covering the visiting student’s activities while in attendance at the School of Medicine must be provided by the parent medical school, along with verification of immunization to certain infectious diseases.
All of the pertinent New York Medical College School of Medicine policies and procedures that are in place for our NYMC students apply to visiting students.
Opportunities for international students attending medical schools outside the United States and Canada to complete clinical electives at NYMC-affiliated clinical sites are extremely limited. Currently, the School of Medicine has an active student exchange program with Tokai University School of Medicine in Japan.
