Visiting International Researchers
KU Medical Center offers clinical electives to international medical students in their final year of medical school.
Clinical Elective Opportunities
The Clinical Electives Program at KU Medical Center 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 no more than two modules. There are a limited number of spaces available for each module, and the application process starts six to eight months prior to the elective start date.
