However, VCU School of Medicine students have first priority and we try to accommodate extramural students at the time and in the discipline requested. Due to the timing of preparing the schedules of our own students, we can take no action on applications from extramural students for the upcoming year until around the middle of July 2001 and foreign students not until around the first of August 2001. Our electives are of one month duration, or multiples thereof. Generally speaking, we encourage visiting students to conform to this schedule if at all possible, but exceptions will be considered and all electives must be taken at Medical College of Virginia Hospitals or the V.A. Medical Center. We offer no stipends.
Students are responsible for the cost of their meals and securing living accommodations.
However, we will be happy to send you our housing list and the telephone number of our dorms here on campus. You will need a car to reach most other housing. We ask that you provide your Dean's Office with our address listed below and have them forward an evaluation form to the Electives Coordinator because we do not have grade sheets for visiting students. We cannot always accommodate all students who apply to us for an elective at the Medical College of Virginia Hospitals of Virginia Commonwealth University. Therefore, unless special circumstances exist, we limit all visiting students to a maximum of two months here.
