The University of Kansas Medical Center offers clinical electives to international medical students in their final year of medical school. Electives are offered throughout the year with the exception of July, August, and September.
The Clinical Electives Program is a great opportunity for students to enhance their medical knowledge by gaining practical skills while training alongside our faculty physicians.
Each clinical elective module is four weeks. International students are limited to one module. Enrollment in each module is limited, if selected to complete an application, the application process starts 4-6 months prior to the elective start date.
