Information for Visiting Medical Students Interested in "Away" UTMB Dermatology Electives

Doing an away dermatology elective as a visiting medical student can be confusing. How do I get registered? Are there any associated costs? Where will I live when I am on the rotation? Are dermatology interviews automatically given to visiting dermatology students? Should I bring my surfboard? At UTMB, our Registrar's Office (Enrollment Services, 409-772-1215) will help you schedule a dermatology elective with us in Galveston. For the upcoming 2010-2011 academic year, 4 week rotations begin on Monday, June 28th. A wide variety of interesting dermatology electives are offered. Applications from visiting medical students are now being accepted and applicants will be notified once all of the UTMB MS3 and MS4 students have preregistered, around May 1st. Yes, the UTMB Dermatology Department changed its interview policy late last year and now plan to automatically interview all visiting medical students during their dermatology rotation in Galveston as long as they have completed their ERAS http://www.aamc.org/students/eras/ application for the UTMB dermatology residency.
