Visiting fourth year US medical students from groups historically underrepresented in radiology or disadvantaged groups, including (but not limited to) women, races/ethnicities underrepresented in medicine, individuals who identify as LGBTQ, persons with disabilities, religious minorities, and those from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. On the application, you will be asked to explain how you qualify.

Students must have completed all core clerkships in medicine, surgery, pediatrics, psychiatry, and OB-GYN.

Applications are due by June each academic year and participants will be selected by July for a fall rotation of that year. Applicants should apply for the scholarship before applying to the rotation through VSAS.

Students will enroll in RADI 8000 - Diagnostic Radiology or RADI 8002 - Nuclear Medicine.

This course is a four-week elective.

Accepted students must also apply to the course through the CU School of Medicine via VSAS and will receive instructions on how to apply upon acceptance.

At whatever future date CU School of Medicine reopens for visiting student rotations, recipients of our REDR Program will receive support (up to $1000) to cover various costs associated with traveling to the Anschutz Medical Campus (i.e. airline and transportations fees, hotel lodging, meals, etc.) as well as other miscellaneous expenses such as visiting student elective and student ID fees. Whenever possible, department will coordinate (upfront) with recipient to direct pay these various items (up to $1000) versus recipient covering these initial expenses themselves followed by submitting reimbursement requests to department.   

SIR Foundation GEMS Scholarship Program

The REDR program is currently on hold due to the global and national uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. Once the CU Undergraduate Medical Education office opens up visiting student rotations again, we will open up the 2020-2021 REDR application. The current status is that the visiting student program has been suspended until May 30th, 2021, with likelihood of it being suspended into the summer.
