Visiting International Students
We are currently unable to accept visiting international medical student applications.
Applicants are encouraged to check back periodically for any status updates. Should this moratorium be lifted, it will be noted as such on this website.
The University of Cincinnati College of Medicine offers electives for international visiting medical students. However, due to an increase in class size, the College of Medicine is not accepting international students for clinical electives currently, except for those schools with which there is already an existing Activity Agreement in place. These include Chongqing Medical University (China), University of Lubeck (Germany), Ludwig Maximilians University (Germany), Universidad Iberoamericana (Dominican Republic), Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (Peru), United Arab Emirates University (UAE), Ben Gurion University (Israel), Tel Aviv University (Israel), and Alfaisal University (Saudi Arabia).
The following application materials should be submitted via email directly to COMGlobalHealth@uc.edu
