Applying for Rotations in Chattanooga
UTHSC College of Medicine-Chattanooga offers core clinical rotations and electives to UTHSC junior and senior students and visiting senior students.
UTHSC College of Medicine-Memphis students may elect to complete all of their clinical rotations in Chattanooga. Our campus offers all core clerkships (Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Neurology, Ob/Gyn, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Surgery) plus 40+ required and elective senior rotations. All clinical rotations in Chattanooga are comparable to those offered in Memphis.
UTHSC student scheduling
All UTHSC students schedule their junior and senior rotations in Chattanooga through eMedley. Please email Medical Education in Memphis (comsched@uthsc.edu) if you have questions.
Visiting student scheduling
Non-UTHSC senior medical students apply for rotations in Chattanooga via Visiting Student Learning Opportunities (VSLO) sponsored by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). Visiting senior medical students may apply for up to three (3) four-week rotations from the 40+ senior elective rotations offered at the Chattanooga campus. Most departments have agreed that visiting students must fit their requests into the block dates established by UTHSC for our own students. All requests for scheduling exceptions must be directed to the departmental coordinator.
International student applicants
International medical school senior students may apply for rotations as long as their institution participates in VSLO and they meet the criteria for rotations.
Internal Medicine rotation applicants
Visiting senior students requesting Internal Medicine rotations must first apply using the Special Student Elective Application link to the right. This pre-screening step is required in addition to the VSLO application. Please allow 7-10 business days for the department to reply directly to your application via email.
Observerships
UTHSC College of Medicine-Chattanooga does not offer observerships for medical students or physician assistant students.
For any other questions about scheduling student rotations in Chattanooga, please email Tiffany Nabors.
