In support of our educational mission, Memorial Sloan Kettering faculty provide clinical and research electives to visiting students.

If you have any questions about our program or application procedures, please see our Frequently Asked Questions page.

Students who don’t meet the criteria for a clinical elective may apply for an observership. Please see the observership page for more details.

Visiting Student Elective Applications

Domestic medical students may begin to apply for the 2025 - 2026 academic year starting on Monday March 17, 2025 in VSLO. Visiting students should not contact departments or elective directors during the application process. Doing so will result in disqualification from the selection process.

The deadline to apply for the 2025 - 2026 academic year is Friday May 30, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. We will not consider any applications once the deadline has passed.

Any former MSK employees interested in clinical rotations are encouraged to contact the GME office prior to applying.
