Visiting Students

UT Southwestern’s capacity to accommodate students from other institutions who wish to undertake an elective rotation is limited. UT Southwestern cannot reserve positions in advance for any students other than those enrolled in UT Southwestern’s M.D. degree program. UT Southwestern prioritizes students from schools accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, with whom UT Southwestern reciprocates on exchanging students for elective rotations. In the event that UT Southwestern has excess capacity on its clinical teaching services for well-trained elective students from non-LCME-accredited medical schools, UT Southwestern will consider an application from those students.

Core Clerkships in the second and third year and courses provided in the Pre-Clerkship period are available only to students enrolled at UT Southwestern. Approval of visiting students for elective rotations rests with the appropriate clinical department. All students must be covered by malpractice insurance. Information concerning electives may be obtained from the Office of the Registrar or from the appropriate clinical department.
