Visiting student clinical placement

Aurora’s clinical placements for visiting 4th year MD & DO students provide a hands-on experience with a diverse patient population, fostering growth of medical knowledge and building confidence.

Note: We do not allow for visiting 3rd year MD & DO student rotations.

Welcome students

As a visiting student, you will learn from critically acclaimed medical professionals from all over the world and work with some of the most vulnerable and under-served populations in the state. Working and learning with these patients will enhance your understanding of the effects of socioeconomic and educational disparities on health and give you an appreciation of the strength and resilience of urban communities.

We also have opportunities for students to complete sub-I and audition rotations with our residency programs, including family medicine, internal medicine, radiology, and OB/GYN.

ATTENTION STUDENTS: We ask that you don't contact any Aurora Providers. All rotations must be scheduled through our office for elective and audition rotations. All requests should be sent to our department mailbox. Thank you!
