64 VSAS Host Schools in 2009!

VSAS is an AAMC application designed to make it easier for medical students to apply for senior electives at other U.S. medical schools. This service requires students to submit just one application for all schools, effectively reducing paperwork, miscommunication, and time for students and school staff.

Who will use VSAS?

In 2009, 64 U.S. schools will use VSAS to accept elective applications. All other U.S. schools will continue to use their own application system. Any student enrolled at a U.S. medical school applying to these VSAS host schools will use VSAS.

Schools, whose students apply through VSAS, will use VSAS to support these students' applications.

Canadian, International and Osteopathic Students

VSAS is not yet available for international, osteopathic, or students enrolled at Canadian medical schools to use. Please use the Extramural Electives Compendium (EEC) for visiting student application information.
