Application Process for Visiting Students from LCME-Accredited Medical Schools

The University of Kentucky College of Medicine will be using VSAS, the Visiting Student Application Service, to receive visiting student applications for the 2009-2010 academic year. Applications may be submitted through VSAS starting on May 1, 2009 .  To apply to our school, please complete and send us a VSAS application for your preferred electives and dates.  For more information on VSAS, please visit www.aamc.org/vsas or contact VSAS at vsas@aamc.org or (202) 478-9878. 

Our information in VSAS will not be complete and up to date until mid-February, 2009.

In addition to the information about UK in VSAS, please be aware of the following requirements:

• If you are accepted for a visiting student rotation, you will need to pay a one-time $50 placement fee when you arrive at UK, regardless of how many rotations you are doing.
• If you are accepted for a visiting student rotation and decide not to accept it or to withdraw from it you must withdraw via VSAS at least one month prior to the start of the rotation. Failure to provide notification of withdrawal from an approved rotation will be reported to the dean of your medical school.
• Do not contact any clinical department until after you have received approval for a visiting rotation.
• If accepted for a rotation, you will be informed of the time and place for your orientation. You must complete this orientation before you can begin any part of the rotation. Failure to do so may result in cancellation of your rotation.
