Opportunities for Medical Students
We offer four opportunities for fourth-year medical students: an inpatient Sub-Internship at University Hospital, an inpatient rotation at Denver Health Hospital, and two Outpatient Courses.
We use the Visiting Student Learning Opportunities (VSLO), program, an online application service developed by the AAMC for senior “away” electives. Please check with your institution to see if they use this service. To register for a rotation with our program, you will need to submit a request through VSLO. The application window opens March 1 of each year.
Our available spots are limited. After students from our own institution have been placed, we open remaining spots to visiting students. If you are not selected, that doesn’t mean we wouldn’t love to have you at our residency program! Please take advantage of other opportunities to get to know us, like visiting our booth at FUTURE, held annually in late July.
Reimbursement Application for Accepted Externs
Through a grant, the Colorado Institute of Family Medicine (CIFM) has allocated funding to reimburse a limited number of medical students for their travel and lodging expenses that they occurred when completing a sub-internship (externship) at one of the ten Colorado Family Medicine Residency Programs. The funding is up to $1,500 per medical student. If accepted to our Sub-internship, one of our program coordinators will send you information on how to apply and more details. The selection process for those receiving funds is determined by a team external to any family medicine residency.
Disclaimer: Being accepted for an externship rotation or CIFM’s reimbursement grant does not constitute or imply an endorsement by our residency program and sponsoring faculty. Application approval and participation in a rotation does not guarantee an invitation for an interview for a residency position.
