APC SELECTIVES ARE NOT OPEN TO VISITING STUDENTS

The electives are one-month in duration beginning on the first day of each calendar month and ending on the last day of that month.  Visiting students are limited to no more than two (2) one-month electives.  Approval to rotate at McGovern Medical School is granted solely by the Office of Student Affairs.  Approvals obtained directly from department coordinators will not be honored.

If you are applying for the senior year beginning July 2016, you should know that departments do not review elective applications until UT-HMS students’ schedules are finalized which will occur by the end of May 2016.  After that time all applications will be processed as soon as all the required materials and verifications are received. International students are not accepted for the month of July, August, or September.

Requirements

The following must be ORIGINAL documents in English.  Fax copies will NOT be accepted.

  1. Official medical school transcript.  (Must list courses taken and notation of level of achievement in each course.)
  2. Dean’s letter and two clinical faculty letters of recommendation.
  3. Please provide a copy of your official USMLE Step 1 score report to include all pages.
  4. Verification that you have completed all your clinical rotations which include OB/GYN, Pediatrics, Surgery, Psychiatry, Internal Medicine, and Family Medicine.
  5. Verification of malpractice insurance coverage (available thru McGovern Medical School for a small fee if your school does not cover you for electives at other institutions).  If purchasing through McGovern Medical School, you must submit a letter with your application stating that you will purchase coverage on your first day.
  6. Verification of immunizations, including the completion of Hepatitis B vaccination series or proof of immunity.
  7. You will be required to have health insurance coverage with medical evacuation and repatriation- please send a copy of this coverage with your application.  If you prefer you could purchase it through The McGovern Medical School on your first day during orientation.  The cost for health insurance is currently $185 (USD) per month but subject to change.  This will also include medical evacuation and repatriation coverage.  Please attach a letter with your application stating you will purchase McGovern Medical School’s health insurance and medical evacuation / repatriation coverage.
  8. If you are attending medical school in a country whose official language is NOT English, you must provide either a notarized statement that English is your native language OR a certificate of completion of a course in the English language stating your proficiency in written and spoken English.
  9. A $350 (USD) per month non-refundable application fee for each application.  Application fee must be paid using a money order drawn on a U.S. bank and made payable to “UT-HSC”.  Please do not send personal check or cash.  There is a $100 (USD) charge for any change to your approved application, and requires a new application form to be submitted with payment.
  10. Imprint of your official school seal is required on the application.
  11. All above mentioned documents and application fee must be received in the Office of Student Affairs at least four months before the requested elective start date.
  12. Upon approval for a medical elective and in accordance with university policies and federal regulations, all non-U.S. citizens must follow directions from the University of Texas Office of International Affairs.  Upon acceptance for a medical elective an international visitor advisor from The University of Texas Office of International Affairs will contact you to provide you with vital information on how to apply for your F-1 Student Visa, which is the ONLY (student) visa accepted by this institution.   If your visa is granted, your first obligation under the F-1 visa mandates a visit to the University of Texas Office of International Affairs upon your arrival in Houston.
