Visiting Students
Thank you for your interest in the visiting student program at The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences.
This year we will be accepting applications for visiting electives through the VSAS (Visiting Student Application Service) system. Students who take electives must be enrolled in their senior year of medical school at a U. S. LCME medical school. They must be in good academic standing after completing their core rotations.

Additional information
Students accepted for electives are allowed a maximum of 2 four week rotations. The required application fee is $75.00. We do not provide housing. Please bring your white coat with you as well as your school ID; we will provide ID access for the Medical Center, GW Hospital and the Himmelfarb Health Sciences Library. Parking is provided on campus at a discounted rate. The metro (subway) system has a stop on the GW campus at Foggy Bottom. Access to the Health and Wellness Center is available for a monthly fee.
We look forward to hosting you for an elective rotation.
In the Heart of the Nation
GW's Washington, D.C. location puts our students, faculty, and researchers in the heart of health care policy. The Medical Center's campus in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood is just steps away from the World Health Organization, blocks from the White House, and a short Metro ride from the National Institutes of Health.
