The CU Anschutz Department of Medicine at the University of Colorado offers foreign medical graduates and international students opportunities for clinical rotations or observerships in a dynamic healthcare setting. Participants gain hands-on experience, collaborate with faculty, and explore diverse medical practices while meeting program requirements like malpractice coverage and visa compliance.
Medical school graduates and students at medical schools that do not participate in the VSLO Global Network should apply for sponsorship through the platform linked below. This platform will take applicants through the process of applying for sponsorship, the first step in consideration for a rotation within the department. Students at schools that participate in the VSLO Global Network should apply through VSLO rather than this form.
Applications for an observership require a $100 application fee. Applicants will be directed to a link for payment after submitting their application. Observership applications will be reviewed twice a year by the CU Anschutz Department of Medicine Leadership (April and September) and the review process can take up to 3 months. Please note that there is limited availability for an observership through the CU Anschutz Department of Medicine.
Student applications for clinical rotation sponsorship are reviewed once a year in March. Please submit your application by September 15th for the next clinical rotation scholarship opportunity.
