In recent years, UCLA has offered a full range of advanced clinical elective courses to medical students on a world-wide basis. We have enjoyed the opportunity to be able to provide elective training to virtually thousands of students. However, this is a time of overwhelming demand for clinical training and of increasing financial constraint necessitating curtailment in the number of students accepted to participate in our Externship Program. We will continue to consider applications from students attending foreign medical schools where reciprocity in on-site clinical elective training for our own students would be offered and considered for credit by our school.
If you attend a school which does not provide on-site clinical training, in English, or if the clinical training opportunities at your school would not be credited for UCLA students by UCLA, please be advised that it is not likely we would be in a position to accommodate your request.
If you are interested in doing an elective at UCLA please complete this form. You must be a final-year medical student attending a school with whom we have a reciprocal relationship. If qualified, you will receive relevant information concerning application materials and courses offered via airmail at your home address. Currently, eligible international students may apply for up to a maximum of 9 weeks total, with an application fee of $300 for each 3-week elective (maximum of 3 electives). Thank you for your interest in our program.
