About this program
The Department of Anesthesiology at Montefiore Einstein supports two parallel visiting pathways. The first is a one-month elective clerkship for fourth-year medical students, administered through AAMC's Visiting Student Application Service (VSAS); applications are due at least sixty days before the desired start date. The second is an observership track for international and external residents arranged by direct contact with a faculty supervisor. Applicants first identify a supervising physician from the departmental team page, then email their CV and requested dates to Deborah Lopez; onboarding is coordinated through Montefiore Einstein's House Staff Office. Activities cover broad exposure to anesthesiology workflow, including preoperative evaluations, airway management, IV placement (for clerkship participants), and rotation through multiple subspecialties. Fees, certificate policy, LOR availability, and visa sponsorship are not disclosed on the page and should be confirmed during outreach.
