Applications will be processed on a first come-first serve basis.   A space cannot be secured by telephone.   Information related to reservations mentioned in the catalog is for GWU students only.   Visiting students are not able to reserve or hold spaces prior to submission of an application.   Coordinators are not able to 'pencil you in' if another application is pending.

Please do not send additional paperwork.   We do not wish to receive transcripts, immunization records, letters of good standing, etc. by mail.   The application once submitted, goes directly to the applicant\u2019s Dean or Registrar for confirmation and approval.   If the school does not track the student records we require, we will contact you.   Most schools are able to provide us with the documentation that we need by completing the medical school portion of the application.

Checks for the $75.00 application fee should not be submitted until you have been approved and confirmed for the course.

We will not approve or confirm any courses until after the GW seniors have completed their schedules.   This will be completed at the end of May. We will begin to send confirmations during the first week of June.   We will notify all students about the status of their application.   After that, we expect to respond to all requests for electives within 2 to 4 weeks.

We do accept students from osteopathic schools.   We do not accept third year students for any core rotations.   Students must have completed the third year core rotations before their visiting rotation begins.   We have a limited number of affiliation agreements/ contracts with schools outside of the United States.   Interested applicants may inquire with the Office of International Medicine at imprxj@gwumc.edu

Please check and verify all information before submitting your application.   If application is not approved by your Dean's Office for any reason, your application will be cancelled.
