Medical Selectives

The fourth year allows students to choose two medical selective rotations.

Students have the flexibility to choose among several options to fulfill their medical selective requirement, which serves to ensure all students attain a solid foundation of medical knowledge while also providing them with the flexibility and opportunity to schedule rotations in specific areas of interest.

Medical selectives are usually completed at VCOM core training sites where the College has established clinical rotations, affiliation agreements, and appointed faculty. The Intensive Medical Selective may occur at a site with post-graduate education if approved by clinical affairs.
