Visiting Students Visiting Student Program Following the guidelines set forth in the LCME memo of July 1989, a limited number of clinical electives are available for students from LCME approved medical schools who have completed their basic clinical curriculum (Medicine, OB/GYN, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Surgery, and Family Medicine). Visiting students are limited to a maximum of two (2) one month electives. Our students have first priority in selecting rotations and consequently we cannot always accommodate visiting students at the time or in the discipline requested. Visiting students must have current student status in an accredited LCME medical school or AOA Osteopathic medical school. Students will be required to provide a Dean’s letter with written verification of professional liability coverage and verification of current immunizations (see form below) and TITERS RESULTS (need copy of titer lab results). Students are, also, required to have health insurance and current OSHA training. Students who rotate through the WVU Medical School from LCME-accredited medical schools or AOA Osteopathic medical schools are required to show current and satisfactory completion of their school's HIPAA training. For ease of identification upon arrival we request that a recent photo be sent with your application. We will begin processing visiting student applications May 31. Completed applications received before this date will be held on file and processed on a first come first serve basis. Arrangements may never be made solely with the elective supervisor. A fee of $25.00 payable to University Health Associates is required of all non-West Virginia residents. West Virginia residents attending Marshall University, West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine, or an out of state medical school are exempt from this fee. After the application is processed, the Visiting Student will be notified by e-mail as to whether or not he/she has been accepted. Visiting students must make their own arrangements for room and board. When you are accepted a list of motel/hotels will be sent as an attachment to your e-mail acceptance letter. To apply to our Visiting Student program please print out and complete the applications which you can access in our catalog. Attach the necessary documents (fee, photo, and copy of titer lab results) and mail to:
