Medical Student Electives/Externships

The Department of Neurology and JMH offers a four-week elective rotation to medical students desiring to gain extra experience in neurology during their senior years. Clinical neurology electives are available on the neurology inpatient service or neurology consultation service at the Jackson. Extended electives in clinical or bench research lasting for up to 8-12 weeks also are available. Clinical electives in neurology subspecialty services also are available (Stroke, NICU, Outpatient Clinics, Brain Injury NeuroRehab). The students work closely with residents and attendings during these electives. Economic housing on the medical school campus can be arranged for out of town students for the duration of these electives. Over the years, senior students have found such elective rotations useful for direct interaction with faculty and resident staff, hands-on experience in neuroscience research, and exposure to South Florida. However, students' electives are neither required nor necessarily encouraged for prospective neurology residency training applicants.

If you are a medical student that will be applying for residency in Neurology, please apply through the VSAS system (http://www.aamc.org/programs/vsas/). For additional information, please contact Chemene Michel at:
