Third-Year Rotation

Third-year core rotations are reserved for Michigan State University (MSUCOM) , Kansas City University (KCUMB) and Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine (ATSU) . Third-year scheduling and student placement is determined by the university.

Fourth-Year Rotation

Because of high demand, visiting students may complete no more than two rotations per academic year. Each visiting student is allowed one Elective and one Audition rotation.

An elective rotation allows a visiting student to explore a specialty of interest or gain additional clinical experience. An audition rotation is intended for students who plan to apply to a specific program for residency. Audition rotations are offered between July and December, depending on the program. During this period, elective rotations are not allowed within the residency programs offering audition rotations.
