Advisor Resources

With the 2023 away rotation season right around the corner, the Visiting Student Learning Opportunities™ (VSLO®) team has provided easy access to valuable resources to help you support your students through the application process. We will update this page as additional resources become available.

This Post-Rotation Student Survey gathers data to help better assess the decisions students make regarding their away rotation opportunities and how those decisions and experiences inform residency decisions.
