About this program
The University of Cincinnati College of Medicine's Office of Medical Education hosts visiting students at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center (UCMC) — UC Health's adult academic medical center. Eligibility is restricted to M4 students from US LCME-accredited medical schools. International (non-US) medical students are NOT accepted via general visa pathway; access is limited to applicants from schools with an existing UC Activity Agreement (specific institutional partnership list — not all INTL schools qualify). Applications are accepted through the AAMC Visiting Student Learning Opportunities (VSLO) platform. Maximum visit duration is 2 electives totaling 8 weeks. A $166 fee is charged per elective. NOTE: Cincinnati Children's Hospital operates a SEPARATE International Visitor Program at cincinnatichildrens.org/professional/resources/international-visitor-program — that program is for pediatric INTL physicians/professionals and is administratively distinct from UCMC. (Cincinnati Children's program is not currently a separate listing in this directory.)
