Rotations and Courses

Elective rotations and sub-internships in anesthesiology are available for fourth-year allopathic and osteopathic medical students. The one-month elective rotation involves an exposure to the full gamut of clinical anesthesiology. All allopathic and osteopathic students must meet certain requirements and submit the documents as detailed below:

• USMLE Step 1/COMLEX Level 1 transcript showing a 1st time pass (a PDF copy is sufficient)
• Short paragraph (~150-200 words) answering the question: Why do you want to rotate with KU Wichita Anesthesiology Residency Program?

We will accept rotation applications starting January 1, 2026, through April 15, 2026. Decisions for rotation acceptance will be made by May 1, 2026.

*Fall rotations are reserved for medical students applying to anesthesiology.

Allopathic Students

Allopathic students must be credentialed through KUSM-W Academic & Student Affairs. These students will be considered "KUSM-W students" and will need to meet all health record requirements and background checks that are required for KU students. (These requirements have usually already been met by your school.) Visiting medical students also must read and sign a Statement of Responsibility and a Protected Health Information Confidentiality and Security Agreement. Applications can be submitted through the Visiting Student Learning Opportunities (VSLO) system.

Osteopathic Students

Osteopathic students must be credentialed through the Ascension Via Christi Medical Education Office and the Wesley Medical Center Education Office. An AOA Medical Student Affiliation Agreement between your Osteopathic School and our major teaching hospitals (Ascension Via Christi and Wesley Medical Center) must be fully executed and on file before a rotation may be offered. Applications can be submitted to the Anesthesia Program Coordinator at anesthe1@kumc.edu.
