Although elective space is limited at the Dartmouth Medical School/
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, students who are enrolled at other
medical schools can participate in pediatric electives if space is available
and if the criteria outlined below are met. Basic core clerkships are
not available to visiting medical students. First contact Holly
Harrison, Pediatric Clerkship Coordinator, to find out if there is
an opening in the pediatrics course you wish to take.
Before your application to take an elective will be considered, you must
meet these critieria:
- Be enrolled in a medical school accredited by the Liaison
Committee on Medical Education (LCME).
- Be fully matriculated and in good standing as verified
by your medical school's Dean's Office.
- Have successfully completed all prerequisite clinical
core clerkships.
- Be covered by personal health and liability insurance.
- Submit written proof of immunizations (using the Dartmouth
College Immunization and TB Record), including Hepatitis B immunization
(or signed waiver declining the immunization).
- Submit written proof that you have completed training
in OSHA's Universal Precautions within 12 months of the start date of
the desired elective.
How to Apply:
- Write to the Assistant
Dean for Student Affairs or call the Student Affairs Office (603-650-1509)
to request an application. Dartmouth Medical School charges a $35
application processing fee for each elective for which you apply.
The fee must accompany the application, and is refundable only if the
desired elective is not available. All checks must be in U.S. currency,
drawn on a U.S. bank, and made payable to Dartmouth Medical School.
We recommend you contact the Student Affairs Office for application

home institution are received by the Office of Student Affairs for destribution
to the appropriate faculty sponsor four weeks before the start date
of the elective.

students. No uniforms are provided. Students are expected to make their
own arrangements for housing and meals.

in the Remsen Building, Dartmouth Medical School, on the first day of
