International Electives

Many students are interested in participating in international electives for credit and for their own professional development in clinical and research environments. We do allow those experiences subject to review and approval by the School of Medicine. The quality of the educational experience and the safety of the site will factor significantly into the decision. Travel to countries with Department of State restrictions and/or high alerts will not be permitted.

Along with an International Elective Request Form, students requesting permission for international studies must review the UMB International Travel Risk Policy and review and sign the Student Travel Release. All required materials must be returned to OSA at least four weeks prior to your departure.

Students have found visiting the travel information links below useful in preparing for an international elective.
